Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty will have a hearing for an illegal check to the head of Vegas Golden Knights forward William Carrier, the NHL's Department of Player Safety announced Thursday.

Here's the play in question, which occurred in Wednesday's Game 1:

Carrier left the game and didn't return, as the Golden Knights captured a 1-0 win in their first playoff contest in franchise history.

Any potential supplemental discipline to Doughty would be a huge blow for the Kings, as the All-Star blue-liner logged over 28 minutes in the loss.
