Yevgeni Kuznetsov was saved from a long flut.
NHL forward Yevgeny Kuznetsov was suspended for one match for his outrageous antics the night before Tuesday. The Washington Capitals center forward would beat the Vancouver Canucks Kyle Burroughs in the face with his bat in the middle of the match.
Kuznetsov got nervous when Burroughs shoved him after the goal. The Russian was whistled for a dangerous foul and suspended for two minutes.
NHL fans were dismayed to read in an NHL disciplinary tweet that Kuznetsov was only suspended for one game. They thought the suspension was too short.
“LOL, ok,” one tweeted.
“At least five games should have been wasted on that,” another uploaded.
Kuznetsov will serve his suspension in the Capitals’ next game against the Ottawa Senators on October 20.
