Ryan Reaves is facing a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety regarding his illegal check to Darnell Nurse, in which Nurse suffered an injury.
The incident occurred during the second period of the Maple Leafs' game against the Oilers, resulting in Nurse bleeding and Reaves receiving a five-minute major penalty.
With a career total of 1,095 penalty minutes in 893 games, Reaves has been known for his physical style but has a history of suspensions.
As Reaves awaits disciplinary action, the NHL continues to emphasize player safety, particularly concerning head injuries, which have been a focal point of their rules.
