Edmonton Oilers forward Patrick Maroon will have a hearing Wednesday regarding his interference on Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty in Tuesday's game, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced.
Maroon received a match penalty in the second period after catching an unsuspecting Doughty with a hit to the head.
The Kings scored three goals on the ensuing five-minute major en route to a 5-0 win. Doughty returned to the game in the third period.
The Oilers are back in action Thursday when they host the Anaheim Ducks.
