Let&#8217;s review.<\/p>\n<p>Thursday night, with 2:03 left in regulation, Backes caught New Jersey Devils forward New Jersey Devils forward Blake Coleman with a shoulder to the head. For his efforts, Backes was assessed a two-minute minor penalty for an illegal check to the head. When it&#8217;s all said and done, the move could end up being very costly for Backes. If Backes is suspended for more than a game, he will end up getting missing the Winter Classic.<\/p>\n<p>A tweet with the hit in question is embedded below.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/cbeswick\/status\/1078480371480711168?s=11<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s official, Backes is on the naughty list.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Boston\u2019s David Backes will have a hearing today for an illegal check to the head on New Jersey\u2019s Blake Coleman.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NHL Player Safety (@NHLPlayerSafety) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NHLPlayerSafety\/status\/1078655776338690048?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 28, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Last season, Backes was suspended for three games for interference on Detroit Red Wings forward Frans Nielsen.
