The KHL have admitted the refereeing mistakes in the SKA - CSKA match

After the SKA - CSKA match, SKA appealed to the KHL about five incidents in which CSKA should have been dealt a penalty for. After reviewing these episodes, the KHL have found that refereeing mistakes were made in four of those instances.

In the first minute Vadim Shipachyov was hooked against, and then moments later a CSKA player should have been called for tripping. Another two minutes passed, and Evgeny Dadonov was illegally cross checked against when having a goalscoring chance (no penalty given). Midway through the period, the referees ignored another foul against Ilya Kovalchuk. During that time SKA were on the powerplay, and should have been given a two man advantage.

The KHL have stated that the referees will be disciplined for their mistakes.
