Brandon Prust will have a hearing with the NHL on Sunday morning over the elbow he landed to the back of Anton Volchenkov's head in the second period Saturday afternoon.
The winger wasn't penalized in the game for the hit, but Volchenkov was clearly shaken up. Prust is a very physical player, but not one who goes over the line like he seemed to do here. "It was pretty dirty actually, an elbow hit in the head," Volchenkov said. "It was pretty hard, but I [finished] the game. I feel not bad now." Prust could become the 12th player in the playoffs -- and the second Ranger (Carl Hagelin) -- to get suspended. Mats Zuccarello, who has been out with a broken wrist, is a possibility to re-join the lineup if Prust is indeed suspended.
