Bulldogs defenceman Cedricson Okitundo has also been suspended for three games after he was assessed a match penalty for cross-checking in the first period of that game.
Fight Continued Well After the End of the Game
According to Wheeler, both Konnor Smith and Noah Roberts earned their suspensions for continuing the fight well after the game had ended. The two kept the brawl going for several minutes after it had died down.
It also started up several times after dying down, which included Smith and Roberts dropping the gloves a full three minutes after the game had ended and re-igniting it.
