So did the player have any insight to the action? or was the action a result of having the player in the fixer's pocket?

 

It's not out of the realm of possibility that the player checked his phone between periods and made some mad bank.

 

pretty crazy. If you're the Predators do you release the guy?

And this from Sportsnet:

 

Of most concern was not anything that happened on the ice — although Twitter’s detectives were out in full force — but what happened on the betting market as that game flipped.

 

Björklöven entered the night as -130 favourites but only saw that extend to -150 while leading 3-1 after 10 minutes. The odds were seemingly holding because of money coming in on Mora, although the betting companies themselves will have to be scrutinized as part of the investigation by the Swedish Ice Hockey Federation’s security department.

The gambling action was so unusual that some betting houses took the game right off the board. Mora mounted a big rally and scored six times on the power play. It was the first meeting of the teams this season.
