Morgan Rielly will have a hearing with the NHL’s department for player safety for his end-of-game confrontation with Ridly Greig on Saturday.
Rielly charged and cross-checked Greig after the Ottawa Senators forward fired a slap shot into an empty net in the waning seconds of Ottawa’s 5-3 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Leafs didn’t like what was a pretty apparent instance of taunting from the Senators rookie at the end of a game that was already decided.
“I thought it was appropriate,” Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe said of Rielly’s response.
Probably going to get 4-5 games. I am ok with Mo retaliating as the Leafs usually let too much slide an d turn the other cheek although I think the reason is a bit silly. Also it will let Mo rest a bit and goes into Beast mode in the last part of the year.
