Washington Capitals defenceman Dmitry Orlov will have a hearing later today with the NHL over a knee-on-knee hit that injured Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers Tuesday night.

No penalty was called on the play.

Ehlers hobbled off the ice and didn't return. Coach Dave Lowry has already ruled him out for Thursday's game in Nashville, with further medical evaluation to come.

The Jets lost 4-3 in overtime to the Capitals, with Orlov assisting on Tom Wilson's game-winning goal.
