Morgan Rielly's actions during during a recent game against Ottawa have landed him in hot water, as he delivered a cross-check to Senators forward Ridley Greig's face, prompting the Department of Player Safety to take action.
The league has set the time and place for Rielly's in-person hearing, scheduled for Tuesday, February 13th, in the afternoon at the NHL's New York office.
This decision follows the Department of Player Safety's announcement of an in-person hearing for the 29-year-old defenseman, indicating the seriousness of the offense committed during the previous game.
In-person hearings are reserved for particularly egregious incidents, allowing the league to consider suspensions exceeding five games, the maximum for phone hearings.
