NHL announces if Nikita Zadorov will face a hearing for his hit and the answer is surprising

Given the state of NHL Department of Player Safety, it always seems like a roll of the dice as to whether George Parros wants to do his job or not. So last night when Nikita Zadorov landed a high hit on Luke Glendening, no one was sure whether or not he'd receive a hearing for the hit.

The hit occured 4-minutes into the 2nd period and ended Glendening's night. The Dallas Stars haven't confirmed a concussion at this time, but have simply called it a "head injury".

The video shows that Zadorov's elbow appeared to be the primary point of contact, but Zadorov doesn't appear to be targeting the head. After Darnell Nurse only received a 1-game suspension for headbutting, I'm surprised to see Zadorov receive any penalty at all.
