Kraken’s Ville Ottavainen fined for altercation in preseason game
from Daily Faceoff (Frank Seravalli),
It’s preseason for the NHL’s Department of Player Safety, too, but Thursday’s game between the Seattle Kraken and Calgary Flames gave them a chance to shake off some rust.
During a 4-3 shootout win for the Kraken, Seattle defenseman Ville Ottavainen took a hit from Flames forward Brennan Othmann in the corner. Ottavainen proceeded to grab Othmann around the head, fling him to the ice, and deliver multiple punches while Othmann curled into a protective posture. Naturally, several other players skated over to involve themselves in the skirmish.
