Chudinov banned for 1 game

In the 33rd minute of Wednesday's match in Saint Petersburg between SKA and Avangard Omsk, visiting defenseman Maxim Chudinov was given a minor plus misconduct penalty (2+10 minutes) for hooking. This was the player's third 10-minute penalty of the current season, and as a result, he incurs a fine and an automatic one-game suspension.
