NEW YORK - Anaheim Ducks defenceman Radko Gudas is scheduled to have a hearing with the NHL's department of player safety on Friday for his hit that injured Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews.
The knee-on-knee hit occurred at 15:47 of the second period of the Ducks' 6-4 loss Thursday night in Toronto.聽
Gudas received a major penalty and game misconduct on the play, which resulted in Matthews exiting the game with a lower-body injury.
The 35-year-old has had previous run-ins with the department of player safety.聽
Gudas received a 10-game suspension for a slash across the neck of Winnipeg Jets forward Mathieu Perreault during the 2017-18 season.聽
He's also been banned for interference, an illegal check to the head and slashing since entering the league in 2012-13.
