NHL Suspends Panthers’ A.J. Greer Three Games for Boarding FlamesConnor Zary

A phone hearing capped potential discipline at five games.

Overview

  • Player Safety cited Greer’s control of the sequence and a shove to Zary’s upper back as the basis for supplemental discipline.
  • Zary is listed day-to-day with an upper-body injury and missed Calgary’s next game against Tampa Bay.
  • Greer received 17 penalty minutes, including a five-minute major and a game misconduct, and the ensuing power play produced two Flames goals in a 4-1 win.
  • Under the CBA, a phone hearing limits a suspension to no more than five games, setting the parameters for the decision.
  • Greer has one prior suspension and a fine on his record and will be unavailable for Florida’s next three games.
