Bruins F A.J. Greer suspended 1 game for cross-check

Boston Bruins forward A.J. Greer has been suspended one game for cross-checking Montreal Canadiens forward Mike Hoffman.

The NHL's Player Safety Department made the announcement on Friday following a hearing with Greer earlier in the day.

The incident between Greer and Hoffman occurred in Thursday's game between the Canadiens and Bruins. Before a face-off with three minutes left in the first period, Greer tussled with Hoffman and levied a cross-check to his face.

Hoffman immediately hunched over in pain following the hit; he left the game for repairs.
