Zachary L'Heureux will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Thursday.
The Nashville Predators forward is facing discipline for tripping/slew-footing against Minnesota Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon on Tuesday.
The incident occurred at 3:19 of the second period in the Predators' 5-3 loss at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota. Spurgeon sustained an apparent lower-body injury on the play. L'Heureux was assessed a match penalty.
The following grounds are being considered for supplemental discipline: tripping/slew-footing. However, the Department of Player Safety retains the right to make adjustments to the infraction upon review.
