Radko Gudas will once again be asked to explain his actions to the NHL's Department of Player Safety.
The Philadelphia Flyers defenseman will face a hearing on Wednesday after slashing Tampa Bay Lightning superstar Nikita Kucherov on Tuesday night, the league announced.
Gudas was assessed a minor penalty for hitting Kucherov in the head with his stick late in the third period of the Lightning's 5-2 victory.
