Ottawa Senators forward Ridly Greig will have a hearing with the Department of NHL Player Safety after he sucker punched a Carolina Hurricanes player in a Game 4 loss.
During a scrum in the second period, Hurricanes defenseman Sean Walker was being held in a headlock by the Senators' Warren Foegele. Greig hit Walker with an upper cut but wasn't penalized on the play.
A date and time for the hearing has yet to be announced. Any suspension would be served next season because the Senators were eliminated from the playoffs after the 4-2 loss on Saturday, April 25.
Greig has one previous NHL suspension, sitting out one preseason and one regular-season game for cross-checking in 2021.
