The incident occurred in the 38th minute of EVZ's game against Tappara Tampere on Tuesday. Martschini had been pushed to the ground and "raised his left skate to an exceptionally high distance, contacting the head area of Ben Blood.
This is considered kicking. This is not considered to be excusable contact. He raised his leg, either as a reactionary or a protective manner and it is not considered accidental. It was also taken into consideration Martschini did not raise his skate maliciously or in a forceful manner. However; a player is deemed responsible for his actions, either accidental or intentional."
