A KHL player, Damir Ryspayev, has reportedly been suspended for the rest of the preseason after going on a rampage during a game between his Astana Barys club and Chinese expansion team Kunlun Red Star.
In a press release, the KHL said that Ryspayev’s behavior had “nothing to do with hockey” and the league “strongly condemns” what happened.
The 21-year-old defenseman could be disciplined further after a full hearing is held.

The Red Star Kunlun coach apparently pulled his players after Ryspayev went wild.
Red Star Kunlun has been awarded a tehnical loss 5:0 in a pre-season game.
