Ellison banned for 1 game
In the 14th minute of Monday’s match in Yekaterinburg between Avtomobilist and Metallurg Magnitogorsk, visiting forward Matt Ellison (№ 21) was sent to the locker room for causing injury to an opponent by checking to the head and neck area. After reviewing the episode, the KHL Disciplinary Committee upheld the referee's decision, and as a result, the major plus game misconduct penalty (5+20 minutes) remains in force and Ellison must pay a fine and serve a one-game suspension.
