Duncan Keith will have a conference call hearing with the NHL on Friday afternoon for elbowing Vancouver's Daniel Sedin in the head on Wednesday night.
If he receives a suspension, and he probably will, it isn't expected to exceed five games because it will take place over the phone, as opposed to an in-person hearing. Keith was assessed a two-minute penalty on the play and Sedin is currently out indefinitely, pending further information. The Blackhawks don't play again until Sunday against Nashville, so there isn't a rush to hand out discipline on the Chicago rearguard.
