Jacob Doty of the LA Kings has a hearing with the NHL's Department of Player Safety. DoPS has announced that Doty will have a chance to state his case Friday.

This stems from an incident during a preseason game Wednesday between the Kings and San Jose Sharks. Doty ran over Jeffrey Viel not far from centre ice. He was given a five minute major and a game misconduct for interference on the play.

Doty, 29, has yet to play a regular season NHL game in his career. He's played in the AHL, ECHL, as well as Britain's EIHL since 2015. No word on Viel's condition.
