Columbus Blue Jackets forward Blake Comeau has a phone hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety Wednesday for boarding Detroit Red Wings defenceman Brendan Smith.
At 12:47 of the first period, Comeau hit Smith from behind into the corner boards. Despite what looked like a jarring blow, Smith shot back up to confront Comeau only to receive a two-minute minor for cross-checking.
Comeau was assessed a two-minute boarding minor for the initial hit and two minutes for diving after the cross-check.
