Ryan Reaves will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Saturday.

The Vegas Golden Knights forward is facing discipline for an illegal check to the head of Vancouver Canucks forward Tyler Motte.
The incident occurred with 3:33 remaining in the second period of Game 7 of the Western Conference Second Round at Rogers Place in Edmonton, which the Golden Knights won 3-0.
Reaves was given a match penalty at 16:30. Motte did not play the remainder of the second period but returned to play the third period.
The following grounds are being considered for supplemental discipline: illegal check to the head. However, the Department of Player Safety retains the right to make adjustments to the infraction upon review.
