Jacob Melanson will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Tuesday.
The Seattle Kraken forward is facing discipline for interference/illegal check to the head against Edmonton Oilers forward James Hamblin.
The incident occurred at 17:18 of the second period in the Kraken’s 3-0 win in a preseason game at Climate Pledge Arena on Monday. Melanson was assessed a match penalty.
Hamblin left the game but returned during the third period.
The following grounds are being considered for supplemental discipline: interference/illegal check to the head. However, the Department of Player Safety retains the right to make adjustments to the infraction upon review.
