Vegas Golden Knights forward Brett Howden will have a hearing later today with the league’s department of player safety after being assessed a match penalty Tuesday night.
The forward was given a five-minute major and was ejected from his team’s opener for a hit to the head of Seattle Kraken forward Brandon Tanev, who was unable to return after the hit.
Howden collected an assist in the opening game before he was ejected from the game. Last season, he put up six goals and 13 points in 54 games last season, while picking up 55 penalty minutes. He added five goals and 10 points in 22 playoff games with Vegas.
Before he was forced to leave the game following the hit, Tanev was a -1 rating. Last season in all 82 games, he had a career-high 16 goals and 35 points.
