Report: No hearing expected for de Haan following hit on Drouin
by from on (#2050D)
Calvin de Haan appears to be in the clear.
The New York Islanders defenseman will reportedly not face a hearing for elbowing Tampa Bay Lightning forward Jonathan Drouin in the head during Tuesday's game in Brooklyn.
No hearing/supp discipline expected for de Haan hit on Drouin. There's obvious head contact but, for deHaan, apparently ruled "unavoidable"

De Haan received a major penalty for interference on the play, as well as a subsequent major for fighting Ryan Callahan, who came to Drouin's defense.
Drouin was forced to leave the game and did not return.
