NHL Reviewing A.J. Greer After Ejection for Hit on FlamesConnor Zary

The Department of Player Safety is evaluating possible supplemental discipline stemming from the interference major.

Overview

  • Greer checked Zary from behind in the third period in Calgary, drawing a five-minute interference major that carries an automatic game misconduct under Rule 56.5.
  • After a brief review, officials ejected Greer and awarded Calgary a seven-minute power play.
  • Zary was evaluated on the ice, skated off under his own power, left the game, and did not return; coach Ryan Huska said he had no update beyond that Zary was moving around fine.
  • The Flames converted twice on the extended advantage, including a 5-on-3 goal by Morgan Frost, to close out a 4-1 win.
  • Commentary from team and media figures described the hit as dangerous, and with Greer’s prior suspension in 2023 and an October fine, a one- or two-game ban is being discussed as possible pending the league’s ruling.
