Bob DeChiara-USA TODAY Sports / USA TODAY Sports

Boston Bruins forward Zac Rinaldo can likely expect a call from the NHL's Department of Player Safety.

The tough guy caught Philadelphia Flyers forward Sean Couturier high with an elbow in the dying seconds of the first period of Wednesday night's game.

Rinaldo received a five-minute major for charging and a game misconduct on the play. Meanwhile, Couturier did not return to the ice to start the second period.

The former Flyer has been suspended three previous times during his career.
