12 May 2013 | Fredrik Pålsson
There has been many suspensions at this tournament now Austria's Daniel Welser and Belarus' Ilya Kaznadei will be suspended one game each
Daniel Welser is suspended after recieving a game misconduct for slashing against Finland. Welser put his stick between the legs of Finnish defenceman Lasse Kukkonen and drove it into the groin area of the opponent. The Disciplinary Panel said even it was not Welser's intention to inflict Kukkonen with an injury it was careless and dangerous.
Ilya Kaznadei wasn't even penalized for his check to the head of Norway's Anders Bastiansen but is still suspended one game. According to the panel Kaznadei raised his stick, extended his arms and followed through with a cross-check, an action which was deemed as reckless and it endangered the safety of his opponent.
