While it's ultimately up to the league to determine which if any measures Wideman will be subject to, Wednesday's incident involving Henderson would appear to fall under Category II.
Wideman addressed the incident following the game, telling reporters he saw Henderson too late to avoid contact.
“I was just trying to get off the ice," Wideman said. "And, at the last second, I looked up and saw him,” said Wideman post-game. “I couldn’t avoid it. I didn’t know where to go or how to get out of the way of him.”
Wideman also said he apologized to Henderson and called it "completely unintentional."
Given the video evidence, Wideman may have a tough sell on his hands.
