The SM-liiga has handed out its first suspension of the season, ruling that HIFK’s Eetu Liukas must sit out one game after Saturday’s match against TPS.
According to the league’s situation room report, Liukas challenged TPS player Axel Landén to a fight. The players became involved in a physical confrontation and dropped their gloves before fighting. Both received game misconduct penalties during the match.
The disciplinary delegation determined that Liukas started the incident and moved into a situation involving Landén and Niko Huuhtanen as a “third player.” Landén received no suspension for the episode.
The suspension means Liukas will miss HIFK’s away game against Jukurit on Wednesday. He can return on Wednesday, September 16, when HIFK faces Jukurit at home. TPS won the original game 5-1.
