National Hockey League linesman Don Henderson has reportedly filed a civil lawsuit against Calgary Flames defenseman Dennis Wideman seeking $10.25 million in damages related to an incident during a January 2016 game.
Rick Westhead of The Sports Network reported details of the suit Thursday.
Wideman was on the receiving end of a heavy hit in the corner during a game against the Nashville Predators on Jan. 27, 2016. Then, on his way to the bench, the defenseman cross-checked Henderson from behind into the boards.
The veteran blue-liner released a statement about the situation the following week:
Firstly, I want to apologize to Donnie Henderson.
