6 years agoPittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin is scheduled to have a hearing on Tuesday after being assessed a match penalty for a high stick and slashing incident against Philadelphia Flyers forward Michael Raffl in a game on Monday night. The hearing will be over the phone, and Malkin could be facing a suspension up to five games. An in-person meeting would allowed the National Hockey League to serve him a suspension of six or more contests. Fantasy owners will want to keep a close eye on the news on Tuesday, as Malkin could be sidelined as soon as Wednesday's nationally-televised game against the Edmonton Oilers.--Daniel Dobish
