Report: NHL reviewing Dorsett headbutt on Weaver, Bourque cross-check
The NHL has a hearing scheduled for 2:30 p.m. ET with New York Rangers defender John Moore for his late, high hit on Montreal Canadiens forward Dale Weise on Tuesday night. But that's not the only incident from a wild Game 5 that's a concern for the Department of Player Safety on Wednesday, according to a report from TVA's Renaud Lavoie:
#nhl player security department is looking at an incident involving #canadiens Rene Bourque on Dorsett. And Dorsett headbutt too. #tvasports

Dorsett appeared to head butt Mike Weaver with just over 30 seconds remaining in the game, and Weaver was not pleased.
"That's the type of player he is, a guy who runs around with his head cut off," Weaver said of Dorsett after the contest per NHL.com's Dan Rosen.
As for the Bourque cross-check, you can see that incident here:

Dorsett has long been among the NHL's preeminent jerkpuck practitioners, and he proved it once again in Game 5.
