KHL's Nikita Komarov suspended for brutal knee-on-knee hit (video)

Nikita Komarov of the KHL will sit for the next three games following a blatant and devastating knee-on-knee hit that took place in a game on Thursday. The 34-year-old SKA St. Petersburg forward received a five minute major and was tossed from the game after a review by the officials after taking down Nikita Yevseyev of Ak-Bars Kazan. Komarov initially went to the penalty box while officials took a second look at the play. Once they were finished, he was told to leave. No word on Yevseyev.
