Washington Capitals defenceman Kevin Shattenkirk will have a hearing with the NHL’s department of player safety on Sunday.
Shattenkirk left his feet to hit Los Angeles Kings defenceman Kevin Gravel during Saturday night’s game.
A two-minute minor for charging was assessed to Shattenkirk at the time.
It was just Shattenkirk’s sixth game with Washington since being acquired from St. Louis ahead of the trade deadline.
