This afternoon, the NHL's Department of Player Safety announced that Jets defenseman Logan Stanley is facing potential punishment for his actions against the Senators.
Last night, Logan Stanley faced backlash for fighting and punching Brady Tkachuk who had not dropped his gloves and was an unwilling participant.
On the play, Stanley was given a double minor penalty but was not ejected despite many believing he should have been.
At the time of the incident, reports were unsure whether or not Stanley would face any further punishment for his actions beyond what was called on the ice.
Now, the Department of Player Safety for the NHL has announced that Stanley will have to attend a hearing which could come with either a potential fine or even suspension.

The Department of Player Safety announced on X that Stanley would have a hearing but did not specify if it was an in-person hearing.
With the NHL subjecting Stanley to a hearing it is almost certain Stanley will at least be fined by the NHL.
Generally in cases like this, a fine for Stanley will end up being the punishment unless there is more to the situation than what could be seen on video between Stanley and Tkachuk.
It will now be up to the Department of Player Safety Senior Vice President George Parros along with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman to decide Stanley's fate and what his actions deserve as far as punishment.
As more information is provided on Stanley's potential punishment and status for the Jets' games going forward we will pass that information along to you.
