NHL insider Elliotte Friedman has confirmed that Soucy will have a hearing with the Department of Player Safety regarding the incident. The debate centers on whether a suspension is necessary. The hit wasn't clean, and its unnecessary and dangerous nature raises concerns.

The type of hearing, whether in person or via phone, could impact the potential suspension length. While a significant suspension would typically be warranted, being in the Stanley Cup Playoffs might lead to a shorter punishment, possibly a game or two.
