Menshikov, Mnatsyan banned for 1 game

In the 10th minute of Saturday’s match in Omsk between Avangard and Admiral Vladivostok, home defenseman Vitaly Menshikov and visiting defenseman Samvel Mnatsyan engaged in a bout of fisticuffs, and each received a major penalty (5 minutes) as a result.

For Menshikov, this was his third 5-minute penalty of the current campaign, and it was the second for Mnatsyan, and as repeat offenders, each player incurs a fine and an automatic one-game suspension.
