Report: Flyers' Gudas, Coyotes' Hanzal won't have hearings for Saturday hits
After knocking the opposing teams' captains out of Saturday's game between the Philadelphia Flyers and Arizona Coyotes, Radko Gudas and Martin Hanzal will both avoid discipline from the league and not have hearings for their hits, a source told Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Coyotes captain Shane Doan left the game after Gudas knocked him to the ice and sandwiched him into the boards. No update has been given on Doan's condition, but it appeared he may have suffered a head injury.
Hanzal, meanwhile, forced Claude Giroux from the game after hitting him into the boards from behind. The Flyers have announced their captain is "fine" and will be available for Monday's game against the Jets.
The Coyotes forward was not penalized for the hit on Giroux, but did receive a misconduct for boarding Wayne Simmonds in an ensuing scrum.
