It appears that Chicago Blackhawks forward Brandon Bollig's vicious hit on Minnesota's Keith Ballard will not go unpunished, as the NHL's department of player safety announced that he will have a disciplinary hearing Saturday to address the incident.

The hearing will be conducted over the phone, indicating that it won't be longer than five games.

Concurrently, Wild head coach Mike Yeo revealed that Ballard would not make the trip to Chicago to play in Game 5.
