Good news for Brandt Clarke owners. He was on the ice for Kings practice Friday, per Daily Faceoff. Hold him and watch for Saturday's lineup. The Hodgson ruling still isn't out.
Bruce Garrioch also confirms Player Safety will hold Hayden Hodgson's hearing by phone. Ottawa will likely lose one more forward for a few games.
It's official, Hayden Hodgson gets his phone hearing with NHL Player Safety today, David Pagnotta confirms. Bruce Garrioch confirmed it too. A phone hearing means a suspension of five games or fewer.
Bruce Garrioch (Ottawa Citizen) expects Hayden Hodgson to have a hearing with the NHL's Department of Player Safety today for his hit to the head of Brandt Clarke. A suspension looks likely for the Senators winger.
Eric Stephens (The Athletic) reports Peter Laviolette called Hodgson's hit as dirty as it gets and expects it to be looked at. No update on Clarke, who looked OK leaving the rink. He's being evaluated.
“He's doing well, but he's under examination”
