Wild's Scandella to meet with NHL following second illegal check to head this season
Brace Hemmelgarn / USA TODAY Sports
The NHL's Department of Player Safety might have to put Marco Scandella's number on speed dial.
A week after being fined for an illegal check to the head of St. Louis Blues forward T.J. Oshie, Scandella may be in hot water once again after a similar incident during Tuesday's game against the New York Islanders.
Minnesota defenseman Marco Scandella will have a hearing this evening for an illegal check to the head of NY Islanders forward Brock Nelson.

The Minnesota Wild defenseman was assessed a two-minute minor after this hit to the head of Brock Nelson.
Nelson did not appear to be injured on the play.
