Herman Träff has been suspended for two games and fined 3,113 kronor after a boarding incident in a playoff match between Björklöven and IK Oskarshamn. The incident occurred late in the third period when Träff delivered a tackle from behind on Daniel Brodin, leading to a larger altercation. The disciplinary committee stated that video footage supported the boarding charge and warranted a suspension.
Träff reportedly explained that he intended a push rather than a tackle into the boards, feeling Brodin was about to make an offensive tackle on him. IK Oskarshamn's coach Jeff Jakobs disagreed with the decision, calling it harsh. Björklöven won the match 5-2 and leads the series 1-0.
