The NHL is looking into whether Dennis was a Menace.
And if it’s determined he was, you can expect a considerable fine and suspension following an ugly crosscheck Flames defenceman Dennis Wideman delivered to the back of linesman Don Henderson on Wednesday night.
The violent collision came midway through the Flames 2-1 loss to Nashville as Wideman was heading off the ice for a line change.
Seconds before the hit in question Wideman was rocked along the boards by Predators winger Miikka Salomaki. Wideman appeared somewhat dazed and agitated as he skated slowly to his bench as play resumed.
