Vancouver Canucks forward Alex Burrows will reportedly have a hearing over the phone after his hit on Montreal Canadiens defenseman Alexei Emelin on Thursday night.
The phone hearing is expected to happen today, according to Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos.
Emelin returned in the third period after leaving the game.
Burrows said he doesn't believe it was a late hit.
