The Colorado Avalanche and Seattle Kraken are currently tied at 2 games a piece in their opening round series. If the Avalanche look to take a series lead they'll have to do it without Cale Makar. The league announced earlier today that Makar would have a hearing for his hit on Jared McCann.
On the play the puck was nowhere near McCann when he was driven into the boards. On the play Makar was originally given a major penalty, which was later reduced to a minor. However the league felt this was worthy of a suspension.
