that Boston Bruins ’ defenseman Charlie McAvoy will have a hearing for an illegal check to the head and interference on Florida Panthers ’ defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson .
The incident happened halfway through the third period of Boston’s 3-2 overtime win Monday night. McAvoy ventured deep into Florida’s zone and, after Ekman-Larsson attempted to play a bouncing puck, McAvoy hammered him with a blindside hit. The play earned McAvoy a five-minute match penalty., Frank Seravalli and Tyler Yaremchuk were joined by former NHL referee and current ESPN rules analyst Dave Jackson to discuss McAvoy’s hit and what the end result might be.
But the attempt and the effort has to be made to make a full-core body check, and in this case, all he did was hit the head. Puck was gone, shoulder-to-chin, that’s a penalty all day long. The only options the referee has is a two-minute minor or a match penalty, and that definitely rose above a two-minute penalty.
