Boston Bruins forward A.J. Greer has been suspended one game for cross-checking Montreal Canadiens forward Mike Hoffman.
The NHL's Player Safety Department made the announcement on Friday following a hearing with Greer earlier in the day.
The incident between Greer and Hoffman occurred in Thursday's game between the Canadiens and Bruins. Before a face-off with three minutes left in the first period, Greer tussled with Hoffman and levied a cross-check to his face.
Hoffman immediately hunched over in pain following the hit; he left the game for repairs.
