Arizona Coyotes forward Zac Rinaldo could be hearing from the NHL's Department of Player Safety once again.

Rinaldo caught Calgary Flames forward Matt Stajan with a high hit in the first period of Thursday's game.

He was not penalized on the play, but later in the period, Flames forward Micheal Ferland took exception and dropped the gloves with Rinaldo.

In late December, Rinaldo was assessed a six-game suspension after punching unsuspecting Colorado Avalanche defenseman Samuel Girard.

Stajan looks to have escaped serious injury, as he returned to the game for the second period.
