Wideman will be suspended indefinitely for crosschecking a linesman Wednesday, pending a hearing to be conducted after the All-Star break, TSN's Darren Dreger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wideman crosschecked linesman Don Henderson from behind in Wednesday's game against the Predators, but the defenseman was quoted in the Guardian, saying the violent hit was unintentional. "(...) Throughout my career, and I've been around for a few years, I think I've treated every official with the utmost respect, and I would never intentionally try to hit a linesman or a ref or anything like that. It was completely unintentional, and I already apologized to him." Look for the NHL to determine how many games Wideman will miss once the All-Star break concludes.
