Edmonton Oilers enforcer Milan Lucic will have a hearing Wednesday for roughing Tampa Bay Lightning forward Mathieu Joseph on Tuesday night, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced.
Here's the play in question:
Earlier in the third period, Joseph caught Oilers defenseman Kris Russell with a hit from behind, and Lucic clearly took exception with his team trailing 5-2. His antics resulted in two minors for both interference and roughing, as well as a 10-minute misconduct.
Lucic has been held off the scoresheet in each of his last six contests and has one goal and three assists on the season. Joseph, meanwhile, has one goal and one helper 15 games into his rookie campaign.
