Senators' Greig to have hearing Monday for sucker-punching Walker

Ottawa Senators forward Ridly Greig will have his hearing Monday for roughing Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Sean Walker in Game 4 on Saturday, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced.

Greig (No. 71 in black) sucker-punched a defenseless Walker (No. 26 in white) while the Hurricanes blue-liner was tussling with Senators forward Warren Foegele amid a chaotic line brawl. Greig wasn't penalized for the play.

Walker stapled Greig into the boards moments later and was assessed a two-minute minor for boarding. Walker is not facing any supplemental discipline.

The Hurricanes completed a four-game sweep of the Senators, so any potential suspension for Greig would go into effect beginning next season. He has never been suspended in his four-year NHL career.
