NHL could punish O’Reilly with fines and suspension

Buffalo Sabres center Ryan O’Reilly could be looking at discipline from the National Hockey League for his arrest last week in Lucan, Ont.

With parties in investigative mode and a court date in London, Ont., not scheduled until Aug. 20, it’s too early to say what penalties O’Reilly could face after being charged with driving while ability impaired and leaving the scene of an accident.

Reports surfaced Monday night about O’Reilly, 24, crashing his vintage 1951 Chevrolet pickup truck into a Tim Hortons in Lucan and then being arrested while walking on foot after abandoning the vehicle.
