Blackhawks defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson is scheduled to have a hearing with NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell at 1 p.m. today about his hit on the Sabres' Jason Pominville, TSN is reporting. The hearing will determine whether Hjalmarsson gets a suspension in addition to his major boarding penalty and game misconduct for the blindside hit that gave Pominville a concussion.
