Dallas Stars forward Antoine Roussel will have a hearing on Monday for his sucker-punch to the head of San Jose Sharks defenceman Justin Braun.

Late in the third period, Roussel ran into Sharks goaltender Alex Stalock, igniting a skirmish behind the net.

Roussel and Braun were being restrained by the linesmen when the Stars forward sucker-punched Sharks blueliner.

Roussel was assessed a minor penalty for goalie interference and a 10-minute misconduct on the play.
