Minnesota Wild defenceman Carson Soucy will have a hearing Wednesday with the NHL's Department of Player Safety for charging Arizona Coyotes forward Conor Garland. 

Just over midway through the first period of Tuesday's game, Soucy hit Garland in the head and was assessed a five-minute major for elbowing. Garland left the ice to go to the locker room after the hit but returned to start the second period. The Wild went on to win 3-0. 

Soucy, 26, has one goal and eight points in 22 games this season.
