Kings' Pearson ejected for high hit on Oilers' Davidson
by from on (#1WTEW)
Tanner Pearson may be in some hot water.
The Los Angeles Kings forward received a game misconduct during Sunday's preseason game against the Edmonton Oilers after catching defenseman Brandon Davidson with a shot to the head, and could potentially face more discipline.
Davidson left the game for observation and was unable to return.
The incident will be reviewed by the NHL's Department of Player Safety, with a hearing likely in Pearson's future.
The hit also nullified what would have been a pretty nice goal on Connor McDavid's part.
