Lightning’s Moser, Sabourin to have hearings for incidents against Panthers – TSN

Tampa Bay Lightning defenceman J.J. Moser and forward Scott Sabourin will each have hearings with the NHL’s Department of Player Safety for their roles during a wild preseason finale against the Florida Panthers on Saturday.

Some fallout from last night’s gong show in Florida, @NHLPlayerSafety announces hearings for Sabourin and Moser from the Lightning.
And fines for Tampa Bay’s Goncalves and Schmidt.

Moser’s hearing is for boarding Panthers forward Jesper Boqvist while Sabourin will have a hearing for roughing Panthers defenceman Aaron Ekblad.

In addition, Lightning forward Gage Goncalves was fined $3,125 for cross-checking Panthers forward Evan Rodrigues and defeceman Roman Schmidt received a $2,098.52 fine for cross-checking Panthers Carter Verhaeghe.

Sixteen players were ejected from the contest as the two teams combined for 312 penalty minutes.

“It got silly. It got stupid by the end of it,” Rodrigues said. “It wasn’t really hockey out there.”

Florida won the game 7-0.
