New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) – Buffalo Sabres enforcer John Scott will have his in-person hearing with the league’s Department of Player Safety next Thursday.<\/p>\n
The league revealed in a release on Friday that Scott, who has not played since this past Wednesday after receiving a match penalty for an illegal check to the head of Boston’s Loui Eriksson in the third period of a 5-2 Bruins victory, will have to wait almost one more week for Brendan Shanahan’s ultimate ruling.<\/p>\n
In-person hearings are required under the Collective Bargaining Agreement for any suspension that can exceed five games.<\/p>\n
Eriksson was helped to the dressing room and did not return to the game. He remained hospitalized overnight in Buffalo for observation. The Bruins reported Thursday that Eriksson suffered a concussion and will be out indefinitely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
