Blues' Sundqvist will have hearing for boarding Bruins' Grzelcyk

St. Louis Blues forward Oskar Sundqvist will have a hearing with the league after boarding Boston Bruins defenseman Matt Grzelcyk in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced on Thursday.

The hit occurred with 2:03 to play in the first period, and Sundqvist was given a two-minute minor for boarding.

Grzelcyk was injured on the play and didn't return after logging 4:29 of ice time in the opening frame. The blue-liner is in concussion protocol and will not travel with the team to St. Louis on Thursday afternoon, Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy confirmed.

The 25-year-old Sundqvist has not previously faced supplementary discipline through two full NHL seasons.

Following the contest, Bruins forward David Backes said he doesn't think the collision was "a hit that we want in our game."
