Cardiff Devils will be at full strength in their Elite League away clash with Nottingham Panthers on Tuesday.
Head coach Andrew Lord and his team had to wait until a League disciplinary hearing decided whether there would be further action after a series of incidents at the end of Cardiff’s 3-2 win against Belfast Giants.
Referee Stefan Hogarth issued penalties against players from both teams after many were involved in scuffles on the ice.
The League department of player safety reviewed video footage of the incidents and used the referee’s report.
Neither team will have any players suspended as a result of the League reviews.
