In a surprising move, the NHL’s Department of Player Safety announced a phone hearing for Florida Panthers forward A.J. Greer regarding his hit on Calgary Flames’ Connor Zary, indicating Greer will not face a suspension longer than five games. Greer received a minor penalty for hooking, a major for interference, and a game misconduct for hitting Zary from behind. This decision reflects the DoPS’s stance amid calls for stricter penalties following a recent five-game suspension of Radko Gudas for a knee-to-knee hit. In other news, Maple Leafs goalie Anthony Stolarz was injured during warm-ups, while the Rangers recalled Dylan Garand due to Jonathan Quick’s upper-body ailment.
