Sharov banned for 1 game

The KHL Disciplinary Committee has reviewed an episode from the 43rd minute of Wednesday's match in Chelyabinsk between Traktor and Kunlun Red Star, namely the incident in which Traktor forward Alexander P. Sharov received a major plus game misconduct penalty (5+20 minutes) for boarding and injuring Kunlun defenseman Nikita Khlystov.

After studying the available evidence, the Committee supported the referee's decision, and ruled that Sharov must pay a fine and serve a one-game suspension.
