Philadelphia Flyers forward Pierre-Edouard Bellemare will have a hearing for his hit on Washington Capitals defenseman Dmitry Orlov during Game 3 of their first-round series, the NHL's Department of Player Safety announced Tuesday.

Bellemare was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct for hitting Orlov from behind, sending him head-first into the boards while chasing the puck in the corner.

Fans then began littering the ice with bracelets - with one even hitting Orlov in the face while he was being treated on the Capitals bench - earning the Flyers a two-minute penalty for delay of game.

Fortunately, the 24-year-old blue-liner was able to remain in the game.
