As a repeated sinner, a 26-year-old native of Cherepovets will lose $ 141,463 (three million crowns) in wages.
Buchevich struck the head of Arizona striker Lawson Crouse at the end of the first period and received a penalty until the end of the match.
Even before that, the Russian striker managed to score his first goal of the season and thus helped the Blues to win 7: 4. He will not be able to play for the team he was exchanged for four seasons in the New York Rangers this summer today in Vegas and at home on Saturday against Los Angeles.
In the spring, Bučněvič “became famous” with a cross in the face of Anthony Manta.
