Chris Wideman To Have Hearing With Department Of Player Safety

January 13, 2022 at 9:47 am CDT | by Gavin Lee Leave a Comment

The Montreal Canadiens are already down more than half their roster due to injuries and illnesses but are about to lose someone else. Chris Wideman will have a hearing today with the Department of Player Safety regarding the incident with Boston Bruins forward Erik Haula last night.

In a scrum during the third period of a 5-1 blowout, while both players were being restrained by officials, Wideman appeared to deliver a head-butt to Haula’s face. He ended up with two penalties on the play, though both were listed for actions against Brandon Carlo, not Haula.

Recently, the 32-year-old Wideman was actually listed as a potential All-Star candidate by writers from NHL.com, after his relatively strong start to the season. The veteran defenseman returned after a year in the KHL to record nine points in 23 games for the Canadiens so far, but still only plays under 15 minutes a night for the struggling club. If he receives a suspension, he’ll be taken out of a lineup that is already missing wide swaths of talent, including seven players that are in the COVID protocol.

Goaltender Jake Allen also suffered an injury last night, leading to several Canadiens transactions. Cayden Primeau has been recalled from the taxi squad under emergency conditions, while Michael McNiven is up from Laval to take his spot on the taxi. Brandon Baddock and Louis Belpedio have been loaned back to Laval, while Kale Clague has exited the protocol and will rejoin the team.
