The NHL department of player safety announced today that Philadelphia Flyers forward Chris VandeVelde will have a hearing with the league tomorrow to determine if he will face any supplementary discipline for the elbow he delivered to the chin of Jonathan Toews in last night’s game against the Chicago Blackhawks.
Philadelphia’s Chris Vandevelde will have a hearing tomorrow for elbowing/illegal check to the head on Chicago’s Jonathan Toews.

The elbow was very out of character for VandeVelde, who generally plays a very honest game.
