News: Laraque will have a hearing with NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell on Monday to discuss his knee-on-knee hit with Niklas Kronwall, Habs Insideout reports. [+]
Impact: Laraque will most likely miss some time due to a suspension. Red Wings coach Mike Babcock and general manager Ken Holland were very upset with the hit after Saturday's game, while Kronwall is expected to miss between four and eight weeks with a sprained MCL. You may want to avoid Laraque until more is known about his suspension. If your lineup is in need of some penalty minutes see if Daniel Carcillo or Chris Neil is still available.
