Toronto Maple Leafs enforcer Ryan Reaves is under review for hitting Edmonton Oilers’ Darnell Nurse during Saturday's game. The hit resulted in a five-minute match penalty for Reaves and an upper-body injury for Nurse. Nurse lay on the ice after the hit. He soon got up on his knees but there was blood near his left eye. Reaves will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety.
