<p>Detroit Red Wings defenseman Kyle Quincey will face a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety after elbowing Tomas Kopecky in the head during the Wings 2-1 win over Florida on Sunday.</p> <p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.wingingitinmotown.com/">Detroit Red Wings</a> defenseman <span>Kyle Quincey</span> earned himself a major penalty and a game misconduct during the Wings 2-1 shootout victory over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.litterboxcats.com/">Florida Panthers</a> on Sunday and in doing so, earned himself a <a href="http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=625381">hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety</a>. Quincey left his feet and charged with his arm as he elbowed <span>Tomas Kopecky</span> in the head at 5:38 of the third period. According to <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/RealKyper/status/186765331648360448">Nick Kypreos on twitter</a>, the hearing is scheduled for 1 p.m.</p>
<p>The league has been cracking down hard on concussions and head injuring plays hard the past year, so a play like that was naturally going to come up especially with the in-game punishment that Quincey had received from the officials.</p>
<p>Here's a video of the incriminating play:</p>
