Fiala to have hearing for boarding Kings’ Roy
The NHL’s Department of Player Safety confirmed on Friday morning that Minnesota Wild forward Kevin Fiala is going to have a hearing for boarding Los Angeles Kings defenseman Matt Roy during Thursday night’s contest.
In a terrible turn of events as the two opposing players went to battle it out for a puck in the corner, Fiala gets too physical and sends Roy flying head-first into the boards.
As mentioned, he was accessed a five-minute major and a game misconduct, leaving him unable to continue his participation in the 5-3 win.
