Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Offered in-person hearing

The NHL Department of Player Safety announced Sunday that Rielly was offered an in-person hearing for cross-checking Ottawa's Ridly Greig in Saturday's contest.

The hearing is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon at the NHL's New York office. An in-person hearing opens the possibility for Rielly to be suspended for six or more games. The 29-year-old blueliner was assessed a five-minute major for cross-checking and a game misconduct at 19:54 of the third period in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Senators. Rielly has generated seven goals, 43 points, 132 shots on net and 95 blocked shots over 50 games this season.
