Dallas Stars defenseman Jamie Oleksiak will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Sunday after a controversial hit on Philadelphia Flyers forward Chris VandeVelde, the league announced.
In the third period of Saturday's loss to the Flyers, Oleksiak appeared to catch VandeVelde with an elbow to the head as he cut through the offensive zone.
In 13 games this season, Oleksiak has recorded three goals and one assist.
