Ottawa Senators forward Alex Burrows has been offered an in-person hearing with the NHL's Department of Player Safety for kneeing New Jersey Devils forward Taylor Hall on Tuesday night, according to TVA's Renaud Lavoie.

The incident in question occurred midway through the second period after a stoppage in play. Burrows took exception to some physical play from Hall and jumped the 26-year-old, throwing punches and then kneeing him in the head as the two wrestled on the ice.

After the game, Hall told reporters of Burrows: "He kind of lost his mind."

The news comes after Burrows was fined $5,000 for roughing San Jose Sharks defenseman Dylan DeMelo in a game on Dec. 9.
