Toronto Maple Leafs forward Ryan Reaves’ hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety is scheduled for Sunday, one day following his illegal check to the head of Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse.
Reaves hit Nurse in the head with his shoulder as the latter was attempting to skate out from behind the net during the second period of the Maple Leafs’ 4-3 overtime win over the Oilers. Nurse was bleeding following the exchange and did not return to the game.
Reaves received a five-minute major penalty for an illegal check to the head and game misconduct.
Reaves, 37, has been suspended three times during his NHL career.
He has one assist and 23 penalty minutes in 16 games this season.
Reaves has totaled 136 points (63 goals, 73 assists) and 1,095 penalty minutes in 893 career games with six different teams.
