Philadelphia Flyers defenceman Radko Gudas has waived his right to an in-person hearing with the NHL’s department of player safety, and will have a phone hearing on Sunday.
Gudas will have to answer for a reckless slash to the back of Winnipeg Jets forward Mathieu Perreault‘s head he made on Thursday.
By offering an in-person hearing, the DoPS can suspend Gudas for more than five games.
The 27-year-old won’t be able to play until his hearing has concluded, guaranteeing he will miss Saturday’s game against the Calgary Flames.
