Timo Meier har bett Oskar Sundqvist om ursäkt efter en knätackling under kvartsfinalen i ishockey-VM mellan Schweiz och Sverige. New Jersey-forwarden stängdes av i en match, men fick utstå kritik för situationen som gjorde att Sundqvist inte kunde lämna isen på egen hand.
Händelsen inträffade cirka 14 minuter in i den andra perioden av kvartsfinalen. Meier fick först två minuters utvisning för crosschecking, ett domslut som väckte starka reaktioner då Sundqvist senare lämnade arenan i rullstol.
