Dallas' 2022 first-round pick ejected for dangerous cross-check in SHL game (video)

During the second period of Tuesday's game between Leksands IF and Rogle BK in the Swedish Hockey League, Dallas Stars 2022 first-round pick Lian Bichsel was handed a five-minute major and a game misconduct for cross-checking.

The 18-year-old skates through the neutral zone, towards his team's bench, when he cross-checks one of Rogle BK's players up high.

Bichsel, who was arguably one of the best defencemen available in the 2022 draft, continues to show that he can be pretty undisciplined at times. With his 25 penalty minutes in Tuesday's game, that brings his total to 37 in 12 SHL games so far this season.

The Olten (Switzerland) native will more than likely have a hearing with the SHL's disciplinary committee and there's a strong chance he'll be handed a suspension.
