Former Detroit Red Wings defenseman Robert Hagg has been suspended in Sweden after sucker-punching an opponent during a game.

Hagg, who plays for Brynas, was handed a three-game sit-down by the Swedish Ice Hockey Association’s Disciplinary Committee after punching Olivier Nadeau of Vaxjo in the back of the head during a goalmouth scuffle in Saturday’s game. Hagg was also fined 20,500 Swedish Kronor, about $2,000.
