Rielly gets hearing for cross-check on Greig

Morgan Rielly will have a hearing with the NHL’s department for player safety for his end-of-game confrontation with Ridly Greig on Saturday.

Rielly charged and cross-checked Greig after the Ottawa Senators forward fired a slap shot into an empty net in the waning seconds of Ottawa’s 5-3 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Leafs didn’t like what was a pretty apparent instance of taunting from the Senators rookie at the end of a game that was already decided.

“I thought it was appropriate,” Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe said of Rielly’s response.
