It was after just over five minutes played of the third period that Anton Rödin's club met Emil Andrae in the neck.

HV players slipped behind after a home attack when Anton Rödin chose to press.

After the match, the incident was reported to the disciplinary committee by the situation room and the committee has now chosen to shut down the Brynäs player.

High risk of injury

"Rödin sees Andrae coming back and doing a powerful crosschecking in the head of Andrae who has no one to protect himself," the disciplinary committee writes in its decision.

In addition, the board also considers that Rödin exposes his opponent to a great risk of injury and that he is defenseless.

Suspension applies from October 23 to November 10 and shall correspond to four matches.

At the same time, Rödin is punished with a fine of SEK 30,938.
