It was during Friday's semifinal between Luleå and Frölunda that Pontus Andreasson tackled Ryan Lasch.
The 23-year-old put his shoulder to Lasch's face and was sent off for two minutes.
- This is what we try to get rid of.
I guess it will be taken care of properly, Lasch said afterwards.
Now the tackle is reported.
SHL announces on Saturday morning that the disciplinary committee will review the blow and Andreasson thus risks suspension in the SHL playoffs.
A verdict is to be expected on Saturday.
"Not on purpose"
Andreasson himself said that the intention with the tackle was not evil.
- Absolutely not.
I also try to protect myself so that I do not get hurt.
It is not intentional, he said.
Frölunda won the first semifinal with 6-3.
