If you missed it here was the hit: Joel Farabee gets a five-minute major and a game misconduct for a late hit on Mathieu Perreault pic.twitter.com/BBI7UXIedc — Brady Trettenero (@BradyTrett) December 15, 2019 Following the 7-3 Jets win coach Maurice provided an update on Perreault: "He's moving around. I'm not saying he's fine. He'll get checked and tested tomorrow and I'll give you a real strong update." Asked about the hit it was clear the Jets bench boss didn't like it: "That’s the most dangerous play in hockey. Even a hit from behind a player has a sense that it’s coming and that’s why that five-minute interference came in because it can be devastating. So the referee’s certainly got it right on the ice.” The Department of Player Safety obviously agreed with the Jets bench boss as they announced on twitter that Farabee will have a hearing tomorrow for the hit. Philadelphia’s Joel Farabee will have a hearing tomorrow for Interference on Winnipeg’s Mathieu Perreault. — NHL Player Safety (@NHLPlayerSafety) December 16, 2019
