Mailloux was having an excellent game against the Sarnia Sting, having scored a goal and two assists, when he violently attacked forward Porter Martone. The latter had hit goalkeeper Zach Bowen while trying to thread the needle.
Mailloux beat Martone up and was kicked out of the game for his gesture. The Knights still won by a score of 7 to 5.
This season, the CH first round selection in 2021 has amassed 11 goals and 25 points in 26 games.
He can return to action on January 7, when the Knights visit the Spirit of Saginaw.
