The NHL Department of Player Safety issued a statement on Wednesday morning, stating New York Rangers defenseman Ryan Lindgren will have a hearing for an illegal check on Colorado's Jonas Donskoi in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Avs.

The high hit, which occurred in the neutral zone late in the first period, would immediately lead to Colorado forward Nazem Kadri dropping the gloves with Lindgren in defense of his teammate.

Kadri would almost immediately take control of the scrap and take Lindgren to the ice.

With help from the medical staff, Joonas Donskoi would head to the locker room following the hit.

Per the Colorado Avalanche, there is no update available on Donskoi's condition at this time.
