Kings' Jeannot earns hearing for high hit on Boeser

Los Angeles Kings winger Tanner Jeannot will have a hearing with the NHL's Department of Player Safety on Friday after being ejected from Thursday's game against the Vancouver Canucks for a hit to Brock Boeser's head.

Boeser exited the game after the hit and was eventually ruled out for the remainder of the contest. He entered Thursday with a team-leading six goals on the season.

Jeannot, acquired by the Kings from the Tampa Bay Lightning in the offseason, has never been suspended in his five-year career despite his physical style of play. He was fined once, in 2022, for kneeing.

The Canucks overcame the Boeser injury to collect a 4-2 victory, extending their win streak to three games.
