NHL Department of Player Safety has quickly made an announcement regarding former New York Rangers enforcer.
Former New York Rangers forward Ryan Reaves is facing a potential suspension after laying a brutal headshot on Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse.
Ryan Reaves, who is known for his physical style of play has unfortunately found himself at the centre of controversy after he laid a massive headshot hit on Darnell Nurse Saturday night.
After a very short review, the NHL officials gave the 37-year old enforcer a major and match penalty for the hit.
However, any calls that receive a game misconduct instantly get viewed by the NHL Department of Player Safety, and surly they didn't waste anytime as they announced that Ryan Reaves will be having a hearing today for his illegal hit.
Saturday night, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman released an update on Nurse's condition, saying that Nurse was joking with the team's trainers and walking around after the game, which is certainly encouraging.
Along with Ryan Reaves meeting Nurse and giving him a face-to-face apology for this incident.
Ryan Reaves went towards Edmonton room for a face-to-face apology during the third period. We await the NHL's decision on supplemental discipline.
