Florida Panthers forward, AJ.

Greer has been suspended for three games by the National Hockey League for a boarding

hit on Calgary Flames forward, Conor Zeri.

The incident happened during Friday night's game, and the league made the announcement Sunday

night as the flames warmed up against the Tampa Bay.

Lightning, in that original matchup, Greer was hit with a major penalty for interference

along with a game misconduct.

Officials reviewed the play and classified it as boarding, leading to the supplemental

discipline.

The hit left Zeri banged up, and flames head coach Ryan Huska said he's day-to-day with

an injury.

Zeri set out Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay, and his return timeline remains unclear.

League Player Safety explained that Greer controlled the play by first hooking Zeri to throw off

his balance, then shoving his upper back near the boards, causing a dangerous impact.

Fans and teams will watch how Zeri progresses, while Greer misses the next three games for

the Panthers.
