Player Safety summons Caps' Dmitry Orlov for knee-on-knee hit on Jets' Nikolaj Ehlers (w/video)

It looks like a suspension is coming for Dmitry Orlov of the Washington Capitals. In Tuesday night's game against the Winnipeg Jets, Orlov was involved in a knee-on-knee collision with Nikolaj Ehlers that left Ehlers in considerable pain. There was no call on the play and Ehlers was furious at the referees when he got back to the bench. Here's the play. It certainly looks like Orlov extended his knee in the incident.

The NHL's Department of Player Safety says Orlov will have a hearing for kneeing on Wednesday. Orlov has been suspended before, but it was a long time ago. In 2014 he got two games from DoPS for boarding Brayden Schenn of the Philadelphia Flyers.
