Arizona Coyotes forward Jason Zucker will have a disciplinary hearing later Wednesday for boarding/interference against Florida's Nick Cousins during Tuesday night's game.
Zucker sent Cousins face first into the boards at 19:09 of the second period after Cousins delivered an elbow to Coyotes defenseman Juuso Valimaki. Zucker was given five minutes for boarding Cousins and another five for the ensuing fight with Panthers defenseman Gustav Forsling.
Zucker racked up 20 total penalty minutes in the 4-1 loss to the Panthers.
Zucker, 31, has 12 points (six goals, six assists) and 36 penalty minutes in 29 games this season, his first with the Coyotes.
The former second-round pick of the 2010 draft has 350 career points (188 goals, 162 assists) in 13 seasons with Minnesota (2011-20), Pittsburgh (2020-23) and the Coyotes.
