This was the offence:

Polak got five minutes and a game misconduct for the offence.

You can read details on the ensuing seven minute penalty kill [in the recap](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/leafs-vs-blue-jackets-recap-firepower-kadri-komarov-nylander-saad-jenner-matthews/).

This is presumably a phone hearing and the result could be a fine or a suspension or nothing. We will update you when we have results.

> This is the first time Roman Polak has ever received supplemental discipline from the NHL. Never fined, never suspended, before now.
