Binnington to have player safety hearing for actions in Blues game

Jordan Binnington will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Thursday.

The St. Louis Blues goalie is facing discipline for roughing against Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman on Wednesday.

The incident occurred near the Blues net after Hartman scored at 12:25 of the second period of Minnesota’s 8-5 win at Enterprise Center. Binnington received a minor penalty for leaving his crease and a match penalty. Hartman finished the game and had two goals and an assist.

The following grounds are being considered for supplemental discipline: roughing/unsportsmanlike conduct. However, the Department of Player Safety retains the right to make adjustments to the infraction upon review.
