Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Radko Gudas will not face a hearing with the NHL's Department of Player Safety for a hit on Buffalo Sabres forward Dan Catenacci, a league source confirmed Friday to Tim Panaccio of CSN Philly.

Gudas received a major penalty for charging, with Sabres head coach Dan Bylsma convinced the apparent head shot would be dealt with.
Bylsma on Gudas: "I think there’s no question it’s head hit. ... I know the league will look at that hit and deal with it."

Sabres forward Marcus Foligno let it be known he's no fan of Gudas.
"I don’t want to talk about that guy. That guy’s an idiot and stupid," he said. "He gets his hits in, he’s dirty, and he’s been known for it. He goes after a rookie who plays in three games and goes right at his head. He’s an idiot, that guy. That’s all I can say. I wish that me and (Nicolas Deslauriers) were out on the ice at that time and we could’ve done a little worse damage to him."
The Sabres and Flyers are not scheduled to meet again this season.
