Jets' Dustin Byfuglien to have phone hearing after cross-check on Rangers' J.T. Miller

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Dustin Byfuglien will have a phone hearing Thursday regarding his cross-check to New York Rangers forward J.T. Miller in the team's 3-2 loss Tuesday. 

NHL Player Safety announced the decision Wednesday. 

Byfuglien cross-checked Miller late in the second period in what some deemed to look like he was trying to decapitate the Rangers forward. The 30-year-old was not given a penalty on the play. 

Byfuglien is not a repeat offender.
