Russian Shalunov suspended 1 game at world juniors
By The Canadian Press
UFA, Russia - Russian forward Maxim Shalunov has been suspended for a game at the world junior hockey championship.
The Chicago Blackhawks draft pick cross-checked Slovakia's defenceman Tomas Nechala during a game Wednesday.
Nechala suffered a facial laceration requiring medical treatment.
Shalunov received a double-minor penalty on the play, but the incident was later reviewed by the International Ice Hockey Federation's disciplinary committee.
Shalunov will sit out Friday's game against the United States.
