I've confirmed that #NHLJets defenceman Brenden Dillon will have a phone hearing today with the department of player safety for his match penalty last night against Pittsburgh. That would mean any suspension can't exceed five games. We'll see what league decides.
The NHL has now decided and Dillon will be suspended for three games due to his vicious hit.
As a result, the Winnipeg Jets will be without Dillon for the next couple of games. They will need some of their depth defensemen to step up and fill the void left by him in the lineup.
