CALGARY — NHL linesman Don Henderson has filed a $10.25 million lawsuit against the Calgary Flames and defenceman Dennis Wideman. Henderson’s court document says he was injured by Wideman during a game at the Scotiabank Saddledome between the Flames and Nashville Predators. “Wideman knew or ought to have known that his actions … would result in damage to Don Henderson,” the lawsuit alleges. Wideman was suspended by the league a week later for 20 games for deliberately striking an official and causing injury. The Flames are named as a defendant as being vicariously liable for the actions of their employee.
