Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Roman Polak will go before the NHL Department of Player Safety following a boarding call on Columbus Blue Jackets forward Oliver Bjorkstrand, the league announced.
The play occurred in the third period of Wednesday's contest between the Maple Leafs and Blue Jackets. Polak was assessed a major penalty and a game misconduct, while Bjorkstrand left with an injury and didn't return.
A quick decision is expected, with the Maple Leafs back in action Thursday against the New Jersey Devils.
