Penguins forward Jared McCann practices at PPG Paints Arena on Jan. 6.

Penguins forward Jared McCann is scheduled to have a disciplinary hearing with the NHL’s Department of Player Safety on Saturday for a hit he delivered to the head of Philadelphia Flyers forward Travis Sanheim on Friday.

During a 5-2 road loss in Philadelphia, McCann was assessed a minor penalty at 14:40 of the second period after his left arm struck the right side of Sanheim’s head.

Sanheim appeared to escape injury and completed the game.

The league did not announce a specific time that the hearing would be held.

The Penguins are scheduled to host the Washington Capitals in their home opener on Sunday.
