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.

(STATS) -- The buzz surrounding the inaugural game at Wildcat Stadium on Saturday night is fueling people set to descend on the new jewel at the University of New Hampshire.For veteran coach Sean McDonnell and his team, the motivation comes from the No. 24 Wildcats needing a pivotal win against dangerous Holy Cross.UNH struggled mightily in its 31-0, season-opening loss at San Diego State last week. For a program that has qualified for the FCS playoffs in 12 straight seasons -- the active national high -- another loss could turn 13 unlucky sans the Wildcats winning the automatic bid with the CAA Football title. They were picked fifth in the conferences preseason poll.For our alums coming back and people in the state, its something thats deserving to these people that have put New Hampshire on the map by working hard, by playing hard, by doing the right things on and off the football field, McDonnell said of Wildcat Stadium. Its a mixture of excitement for those people to come back and take pride, and now we have a very good, first-class and number one facility in the state of New Hampshire for football, for soccer, for Special Olympics, for all these things.I think theres going to be a bunch of excitement, I think theres going to be a great crowd. The thing that we have to understand that this is a good football team coming in here in Holy Cross, and weve got to play our tails off in order to meet the expectation and the excitement thats going to be coming in that night.UNHs outdated Cowell Stadium has undergone a $25 million renovation and been transformed into the 11,015-seat Wildcat Stadium. The Wildcats have won 11 consecutive home openers, including a 39-32 victory over Holy Cross in 2011.At the same time as kickoff at Wildcat Stadium, over 1,600 miles away, South Dakota State will be christening its new 19,340-seat venue, Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium. Called a game-changer at the Missouri Valley Football Conference school, the $65 million project has replaced old Coughlin-Alumni Stadium.The ninth-ranked Jackrabbits (0-1), coming off a 59-41 loss at TCU, figure to get on track against Pioneer Football League member Drake in the stadium opener.Its a phenomenal facility, SDSU coach John Stiegelmeier said. To get this done, obviously great leadership and then our supporters backed the leadership. Weve played in some really nice stadiums, but I think this is going to shock some people from South Dakota what we would be able to do and continue to think big at all our schools.---=FCS GAME OF THE WEEK=The Matchup: No. 8 Eastern Washington (1-0) at No. 1 North Dakota State (1-0)Kickoff: 3:30 p.m. ET at the Fargodome (18,700)Television: NBC North Dakota and ESPN3Series: Eastern Washington leads 1-0 (prior meeting: 38-31 in overtime at EWU in the 2010 FCS national quarterfinals)The Skinny: This much-anticipated showdown brings together the two most recent national champions in the FCS (EWU in 2010 and NDSU from 2011-15). The host Bisons only playoff loss in their FCS history (a 22-1 record) was against EWU in 2010.EWU expected a bounce-back season after going 6-5 last year, but its 45-42 win at Washington State was a surprise considering the Eagles were breaking in a brand new offensive line as well as QB Gabe Gubrud. All the redshirt sophomore did was drop a school-record 551 total yards and six total touchdowns on his Pac-12 opponent. All-America wide receiver Cooper Kupp sets new records by the week and will be flanked by NDSUs new starting cornerbacks. Advantage, Kupp. The Eagles did well to stop the run in their opener but will struggle against NDSUs big, veteran offensive line. The Eagles surrendered 258 rushing yards per game last season.NDSU star linebacker Nick DeLuca is scheduled to play after returning from a separated left shoulder in the Bisons 24-17 overtime win over No. 7 Charleston Southern. Gubrud must seek quick passes to avoid the pass rush of defensive ends Greg Menard and Brad Ambrosius. The Bison will look to control the ball with the run, and the depth at running back is important with King Frazier still slowed by an ankle injury. Like EWU, the Bison have a talented redshirt soph QB in Easton Stick, who limits turnovers and keeps the chains moving. The return game is dangerous with Bruce Anderson on kickoffs and Eric Perkins on punts. The Bison have won 43 straight home games against non-conference opponents.Prediction: The EWU passing game will be relentless, but NDSU will keep pounding away offensively.
