Maple Leafs' Komarov to have hearing for elbowing Rangers' McDonagh

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Leo Komarov will have a hearing Friday with the NHL's Department of Player Safety for his hit on New York Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh on Thursday night.

Komarov was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct late in the first period for elbowing the Rangers captain in the jaw.

Komarov's phone hearing is scheduled for Friday afternoon, according to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun.

McDonagh left the game and didn't return as a precaution. It was his second game back after missing four contests with a concussion sustained after being punched by Philadelphia Flyers forward Wayne Simmonds.
