• Adler Mannheim said Luke Esposito was discharged from BG-Klinik Ludwigshafen on Saturday evening, with no detailed medical update provided.
• The DEL ruling called the check reckless and without other purpose, classified it as interference, and included a monetary fine.
• Esposito received on-ice treatment after a high-speed blind-side collision, was removed on a stretcher, and taken to hospital as blood was visible on the ice.
• During the game Berlin served a five-minute penalty for the hit, Veilleux did not return, and Mannheim won 7:1.
• League materials and prior reporting note Veilleux’s recent disciplinary record with multiple suspensions, which the DEL weighed as an aggravating factor.
