Neal and Asham Have Hearings with the League Tomorrow
By Kyle Scott
Published:
The Penguins will get their day in court (or whatever shanty operation Brendan Shanahan is running). The NHL has announced that James Neal will have hearings tomorrow with Shanahan’s Department of Player Safety for both his hit on Sean Couturier and his elbow on Claude Giroux.
In addition, Arron Asham will have an in-person hearing for his cross-check on Brayden Schenn.
Somehow, Craig Adams appears to have avoided a hearing despite doing this to Scott Hartnell. But, according to league rules, he should be suspended for getting an instigator penalty in the final five minutes.
