On Wednesday night, one of the weirdest incidents of this NHL season took place during the second period of a game between the Calgary Flames and Nashville Predators. Defenceman Dennis Wideman seemed to attack linesman Don Henderson as he made his way to the Flames bench.
The league decided to do the sensible thing and take its time making a decision. On Thursday, TSN’s Darren Dreger reported the NHL had opted to suspend Wideman indefinitely and arrange for a hearing before determining a final sentence:
Indefinite suspension for Wideman pending post All Star hearing.
