Charles LeClaire / USA Today Sports

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Matt Calvert will have a hearing Saturday after cross-checking Pittsburgh Penguins forward Tom Kuhnhackl late in Game 2 on Friday night, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced.

Here's the play:

Unprovoked, Calvert went after Kuhnhackl with a cross-check forceful enough to break his stick, then followed up with a late, unsuspected hit.

The Blue Jackets lost the game 4-1, and both teams will now travel to Columbus for Game 3 on Sunday evening.
