Winnipeg Jets defenseman Jacob Trouba will have a hearing Monday for his illegal check to the head of Ottawa Senators forward Mark Stone, the NHL's Department of Player Safety announced Sunday night.
Stone was forced to leave Sunday's game midway through the third period after Trouba caught him with a open-ice hit. Trouba was given a two-minute minor on the play.

As for the Senators, the injury was one of three suffered on the night, as Mike Hoffman and Tommy Wingels were also forced to leave the contest.
There was no update issued by Guy Boucher on the status of Stone or any of the others postgame, though he admitted losing so many players to injury could be "a disaster."
