Washington’s Dmitry Orlov will have a phone hearing tomorrow afternoon for boarding Philadelphia’s Brayden Schenn

Since it’s just a phone hearing, Orlov won’t be banned for more than four games, but he doesn’t have much of a history, so we shouldn’t expect that anyway. A game or two would suffice in this case, considering Schenn wasn’t injured and well … Orlov basically won the game for the Flyers with this play.
The hit, of course, helped the Flyers climb back into a game in which they trailed 4-2 in the third period. They won in overtime.
