The KHL handed heavy penalties on Sunday to Vityaz Chekhov and Avangard Omsk after their match had been abandoned following an ugly brawl, as reported by ESPN.com. Saturday's game in Chekhov had to be stopped after only three minutes 39 seconds when both squads jumped on to the ice to exchange punches. Officials had no choice but to cancel the contest because the teams did not have enough players left to continue the game. It was the first time a Russian hockey game has been called off due to a mass brawl.
