WJC: Isangulov and Jenner suspended

Russian defenceman Ildar Isangulov and Canadian forward Boone Jenner have both received a one-game suspension for  incidents in Tuesday’s semi-final between the teams. This means that Isangulov will miss the gold medal game versus Sweden, while Jenner will miss the bronze medal game versus Finland, both on Thursday.

After a request from the Championship Chairman, the Disciplinary Panel made a comprehensive video review of the incidents from Tuesday’s Canada-Russia semi-final, as well as reviewing reports from the game officials.

The incidents took place 15:44 into the second period.  Isangulov committed the initial foul, a check to the head and neck area of Jenner. Isangulov was during the game only given a minor penalty for elbowing. But after video review, the Disciplinary Panel determined that Isangulov’s action was actually a shoulder hit to the head-and-neck area.

After the tackle when the play was whistled down, Jenner was sent off with a spearing and game misconduct penalty for a spearing motion with the blade of his stick to the Russian player Yevgeni Kuznetsov.
