A.J. Greer Suspended One Game

March 24, 2023 at 3:45 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson 5 Comments

3:45 PM: The NHL Department of Player Safety has suspended Greer for one game after his hearing. This suspension means Greer will miss Boston’s contest tomorrow against the Tampa Bay Lightning,

10:00 AM: Boston Bruins forward A.J. Greer is facing a potential suspension, as a hearing with the NHL’s Department of Player Safety is scheduled today for a cross-check on Montreal Canadiens forward Mike Hoffman during Thursday night’s game.

The incident occurred late in the first period and resulted in a five-minute major penalty and game misconduct for Greer. He approached Hoffman as the two teams were lining up for a faceoff, delivering a cross-check directly to Hoffman’s face.

Greer has been an unexpected story this season, becoming a full-time NHLer for the first time on one of the best teams in league history. The 26-year-old winger has played in a career-high 52 games this season for the Bruins after signing a deal in free agency, recording five goals, six assists, and a team-high 85 penalty minutes in a fourth-line role.

Hoffman missed most of the second period to receive care but did return to the game. If suspended, it will be the first supplemental discipline of Greer’s NHL career.

    Fortunately everyone hates Mike Hoffman, so this should blow over soon.

    How about the elbow to Bergeron`s head by Arm Pitlick? Looked dirty and definitely dangerous to me

    Greer’s suspension is deserved, but how does Pitlick shoulder to Bergeron’s head go unpunished?

    You can definitely tell that shot was a accidental (throat shot) he was going too check his chest and arm area but Hoffman stood up a little to slow so he got him in the throat
