Note: Danbury forward Vadim Frolov's Game Misconduct for Aggressor has been Rescinded by the Director of Player Safety.  FPHL Director of Player Safety Dave Jackson stated,  "Mr. Frolov will not be suspended for aggressor. Although he was the more aggressive individual in this altercation and he probably deserved to receive a differential I do not see this as being an aggressor. An aggressor penalty is utilized when one player inflicts punishment on an unwilling and defenseless opponent this was not the case in this incident. There will be no further discipline."
