Bryan Rust will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety at a date and time to be determined.
The Pittsburgh Penguins forward is facing discipline for an illegal check to the head against Vancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser on Sunday.
The incident occurred at 20:00 of the third period in the Penguins' 3-2 win at Rogers Arena in Vancouver. Rust received a minor penalty on the play.
The following grounds are being considered for supplemental discipline: illegal check to the head. However, the Department of Player Safety retains the right to make adjustments to the infraction upon review.
