Chicago Blackhawks defenceman Duncan Keith had a disciplinary hearing with the NHL for his high stick to the face of Los Angeles Kings forward Jeff Carter during Game 3 of the Western Conference final. Keith clipped Carter during an exchange well behind the play in the second period. After Carter took a short hack at Keiths hand while the defenceman bent down to pick up his glove, Keith responded by skating behind Carter and hitting him in the face with a one-handed swing of his stick, dropping Carter to the ice. "Yeah, it was accidental," Keith said after the game. "Obviously, I wanted to give him a tap, but not where I got him. I felt bad. Im glad to see that he came back. It was just a scuffle. It was an accident." The injury forced Carter, who wears a visor, to miss the Kings ensuing four-minute power play, which went nowhere. Carter, who scored two goals in the Kings Stanley Cup-clinching victory over New Jersey last year, has six goals in this post-season, sharing the Kings lead with Justin Williams. It appeared that Keith attempted to apologize to Carter on the ice after Carter returned to the game. Kings coach Darryl Sutter thought Keith got off easily with a double minor after opening a gash on Carters face during the Blackhawks 3-1 loss. "I didnt think it was a four-minute penalty," Sutter said. "Thought it was a wrong call. ... Thats three head injuries now in the playoffs for us. I dont know how to answer it. Its retaliation with a stick. Its not a high stick. Whatever they want to call it, theyll call it. Dont even need video." The Kings lost centre Jarret Stoll for six games in the second round with an apparent concussion from an illegal hit by San Joses Raffi Torres. Stoll returned for the conference finals, but the Kings then lost leading scorer Mike Richards for the past two games after a big hit late in Game 1 from Chicagos Dave Bolland. Carter led the Western Conference with 26 goals during the regular season. His midseason arrival from Columbus last year was a factor in the Kings improbable surge to their first Stanley Cup title.
