BREAKING: We Now Know When Morgan Rielly Will Meet With Gary Bettman To Appeal His Suspension

Morgan Rielly faced the NHL's Department of Player Safety recently and was handed a five-game suspension, but now he is appealing and will meet with the NHL.

Morgan Rielly's appeal to Gary Bettman set for Friday

Despite being a relatively clean player for the majority of his NHL career, Morgan Rielly was handed a five-game suspension for his cross-check to the face of the Ottawa Senators Ridley Greig.

Now, he will officially be appealing the suspension, with TSN's Chris Johnston revealing that it will be held in person at noon-ET on Friday with Commissioner Gary Bettman.




Given his history, it's possible that Rielly can have the suspension either overturned or reduced, but with the amount of media coverage that this incident received, absolutely anything could happen when Rielly and the Commissioner meet.
