NHL Schedules Hearing for Panthers’ A.J. Greer Over Boarding Hit on FlamesConnor Zary

The phone hearing on Sunday limits any suspension to five games under league procedures.

Overview

  • Player Safety set a Sunday phone hearing for Greer following his hit from behind on Zary late in Calgary’s win over Florida.
  • After video review, officials assessed a five-minute major for boarding and a game misconduct, adding to a hooking minor for 17 total penalty minutes and a seven-minute Flames power play.
  • Zary left after crashing head-first into the boards, skated off under his own power, did not return, and was later seen with an ice pack as coach Ryan Huska said he was moving around fine.
  • Calgary scored twice on the extended advantage and closed out a 4-1 victory at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
  • Greer’s prior discipline, including a 2023 one-game suspension and an October fine, is part of the context for the league’s review.
