Nashville Predators forward Ryan Johansen will have a hearing for high-sticking Winnipeg Jets star Mark Scheifele, the NHL's Department of Player Safety announced on Friday.
The incident occurred late in the first period of Thursday's contest and saw Johansen assessed a two-minute minor. Scheifele stayed in the game and logged 20:27 of ice time, the most among all Jets forwards.
