Report: Radko Gudas dodges another potential suspension

Radko Gudas continues to escape NHL sanction.

The Philadelphia Flyers defender will apparently avoid further discipline for the five-minute boarding major and game misconduct he received after dangerously checking New York Rangers rookie Jimmy Vesey from behind Monday night, a source told Dave Isaac of the Courier-Post.

While Gudas has previously felt the wrath of the NHL's Department of Player Safety, he's consistently been given the benefit of the doubt in similar circumstances.

The defenseman has been levied a major infraction in upwards of five incidents over the past season-plus, but just once has it resulted in suspension - a three-game ban for a straight elbow to the chin of Mika Zibanejad last December.

Player Safety told CSN's Tim Panaccio that Gudas did not "have time to adjust or avoid the hit once Vesey turns."
