Winnipeg Jets forward Adam Lowry will have a hearing for “high-sticking/slashing” Nashville Predators forward Filip Forsberg, the league announced Saturday.

The incident occurred during the final minutes of the clubs’ meeting on Friday, when Lowry swung his stick and connected with Forsberg’s face.

Lowry was handed a two-minute high-sticking minor for the play, as the Jets went on to win 5-3.

The 25-year-old Lowry has 17 points through 62 games for Winnipeg this season, along with 31 total penalty minutes on the season.
