OTTAWA - If Erik Karlsson does go back to Finland, he can show up a little late.
Playing for Jokerit in the SM-Liiga during the lockout, the Senators defenceman received a one-game suspension for throwing his stick at a referee after a 4-2 loss to TPS Turku on Dec. 8 — Karlsson's final game for the club before a break in the schedule.
Watching the video, it was more of an easy slide than a throw.
