Eakin will hear from the league Friday afternoon for charging Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist in Thursday night's game.

Lundqvist attempted to control the puck from behind the net, only for Eakin to level the netminder to the ice and send his mask flying. Fortunately, Lundqvist was able to return to the game, but the massive hit begs clarification from the NHL's Department of Player Safety on what exactly is considered fair game when it concerns contact with netminders outside of the crease.
