Because Lukas Haudum's teammate at TPS Turku, Lukas Wernblom, acted too fiercely, he has been suspended by the Finnish Liiga for six games.

The Swede was caught in the game against Rauman Lukko after almost eight minutes, biting his opponent Peetro Seppälä's finger. For this, he immediately received a five-minute major penalty plus a game misconduct, but now also a disciplinary suspension.

The incident occurred during a scrum. As Wernblom put Seppälä in a chokehold, the latter tried to free himself by putting his hand in the Swede's face. During this, the culprit bit. The result is said to have been a bleeding wound in the nail area.
