The incident involving Jokerit forward Patrik Virta is now under review by the disciplinary delegation of the SM-liiga. During Saturday’s game against Ilves in Finland, Virta allegedly attempted to kick Ilves’ Erik Borg during the second period. The infraction went unnoticed by the on-ice officials, allowing Virta to avoid a penalty during the game. However, the SM-liiga’s situation room reviewed video footage of the play after the fact. Consequently, the case has been forwarded to the disciplinary delegation for further investigation. The SM-liiga announced the development via their official X account.
