Leafs' Kerfoot to have hearing for hit on Avs' Johnson

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Alex Kerfoot will have a hearing with the NHL's Department of Player Safety on Monday.

The incident occurred in the second period of Saturday's contest. Johnson remained in the game and Kerfoot was handed a two-minute minor for boarding.

The 25-year-old Kerfoot has appeared in 179 career NHL contests and has never faced supplemental discipline.

He was playing against his former team, as the Leafs acquired the 5-foot-10 pivot as part of the July deal that sent forward Nazem Kadri to Colorado.

In 22 games with the Leafs this season, Kerfoot has contributed five goals and eight points.
