Ristolainen is scheduled to have a hearing with the league Thursday for his questionable hit on Pittsburgh's Jake Guentzel on Tuesday, per the NHL Department of Player Safety.

EDGE Analysis

Reactions to Ristolainen's ejection were mixed following the game, with some insisting the blueliner was already in the process of completing the check while others went as far to call it a dirty play. The 22-year-old is not a repeat offender; however, Guentzel did suffer a concussion, both of which will factor into the Department of Player Safety's decision.
