Kadri to have hearing for cross-check on Glendening

Nazem Kadri versus the NHL's Department of Player Safety wages on.

Merely hours after detailing his frustration with the league's decision to fine him $5,000 for embellishment, Kadri has been booked for a hearing with the disciplinary committee for a cross-check Saturday on Detroit's Luke Glendening.

It was a nasty bit of stick work as Kadri, who had his helmet pulled off while wrestling with Glendening, chased down the forward and delivered a retaliatory and unsuspecting blow up high.

Glendening was a little shaken up, but made his way to the bench and continued on in the game.

Kadri will be considered a repeat offender. He was banned for four games late last season for an illegal check to the head.
