Penguins forward Bryan Rust faces possible discipline for a high hit on Vancouver’s Brock Boeser. The NHL Player Safety Department announced Monday that Rust will have a hearing to determine whether he delivered an illegal check to the head. Video shows that Rust came swooping in to a crowd of players and hit Boeser. It appears to show contact up high with Boeser, although it’s not clear that the contact happened with Rust’s elbow or his upper body. Boeser was slow to get up, and Rust was given a minor penalty for an illegal check to the head.

Shedeur Sanders has been selected as a replacement QB on the AFC’s roster for next week’s Pro Bowl Games, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Monday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the NFL has not announced roster changes. Yahoo Sports was the first to report on Sanders’ addition. Sanders played in eight games, and started the Browns’ final seven games, going 3-4. He had a 56.6% completion rate and 68.1 passer rating along with 1,400 yards, seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Sanders was not selected as one of the four alternate selections at quarterback when the rosters were first announced.
