Sabres Prospect Gets 20-Minute Misconduct After Dirty Hit

The NHL is three weeks away from teams returning for training camp, but the KHL is already on the go.

During some KHL action Last night a buffalo Sabres prospect was ejected from the game on a dangerous hit.

We all love a good clean bodycheck it's part of the game. But one thing we don't want to see is dirty hits or players getting injured.

This includes the hit by Sabres prospect, Prokhor Poltapov, who during a play would target a defender who had already moved the puck. Poltapov then leaves his feet and drives his should directly into the defender's head.

Poltapov was given a 5-minute major and a 20-minute game misconduct. He's also likely a a Suspension of a hefty fine.
