TORONTO (AP) -The NHL is looking into Vancouver Canucks forward Alexandre Burrows’ claim that a referee made payback calls against him.
The league said Tuesday that Colin Campbell, the NHL’s top disciplinarian, was reviewing the matter. Burrows accused Stephane Auger of targeting him in the Canucks’ 3-2 loss to the Nashville Predators on Monday.
Burrows said Auger told him during the pregame warmup he was going to “get me back” for a Dec. 8 incident. Nashville’s Jerred Smithson received a major and game misconduct for charging Burrows, but the call was later overturned by the league because it said Burrows took a dive.
On Monday, Auger called Burrows for diving and interference in the third period. A 10-minute misconduct followed with four seconds left in the game.
