The Los Angeles Kings forward is facing discipline for biting Ottawa Senators forward Brady Tkachuk.
Lemieux has been offered an in-person hearing, which is required for any suspension that could be at least six games. He would be suspended until the hearing takes place.
The Kings next play at home against the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday (10:30 p.m. ET; BSW, BSSC, BSSD, ESPN+, NHL LIVE).
The incident occurred with 6:06 remaining in the third period of the Kings' 4-2 win at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Saturday. Lemieux was given two minor penalties for roughing and a match penalty.
The following grounds are being considered for supplemental discipline: biting. However, the Department of Player Safety retains the right to make adjustments to the infraction upon review.
