Panthers forward Krys Barch was ejected after reportedly directing a racial slur at a Montreal player Saturday night.
Barch was given a game misconduct after a dustup at the end of the first period in Florida's 3-2 win.
The Miami Herald, citing an unidentified league official, said linesman Darren Gibbs overheard Barch use the slur against P.K. Subban, whose parents are Jamaican.
NHL executive vice president Colin Campbell is investigating the incident but no decision is expected Sunday, according to a source.
Florida does not play again until Thursday.
