Havlat, after being knocked into the back of the net, kicked Boston defenceman Hal Gill. A suspension is expected.Havlat was not penalized on the play, but the kick was duly noted by the NHL's hockey operations department. While no disciplinary hearing has been scheduled, it is expected one will occur before the Senators play their next game on Friday at Tampa Bay.Working against Havlat is that he previously received a two-game suspension from the NHL for kicking defenceman Eric Cairns when the big blueliner was a member of the New York Islanders. Being a repeat offender is likely to net Havlat a longer sentence this time around.There is no word yet on whether the disciplinary hearing will be held via telephone or in person.In-person hearings generally carry a stiffer suspension than telephone hearings, although the standards for those have been changed with the new CBA.In the past, a telephone hearing was for cases where the expected punishment was four or less games whereas in-person hearings generally meant a five-or-more game suspension. Now, if it desires, the NHL can impose up to a five or six -game suspension on a telephone hearing.</blockquote>
