Following Morgan Rielly's ejection for a contentious hit post-game, the NHL Department of Player Safety (DoPS) is now mulling over potential disciplinary action. In a recent development, insider Chris Johnston sheds light on the situation.
Rielly's expulsion stemmed from a contentious goal by Ottawa SenatorsRidly Greig, prompting speculation of a looming suspension.
Johnston's update reads:
«It sounds like @NHLPlayerSafety is still in the information-gathering stage after last night's Morgan Rielly cross-check on Ridly Greig, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Rielly get a hearing.
The DoPS have some time with the #leafs not due to play again until Tuesday.«
With Rielly's actions under scrutiny, the NHL DoPS is diligently collecting all pertinent details, with a potential hearing on the horizon.
