The Flyers just can’t stay out of trouble.
Dale Weise will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Friday afternoon after delivering this head shot against the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday night:
Philadelphia’s Dale Weise will have a hearing this afternoon for an illegal check to the head on Anaheim’s Korbinian Holzer.

Given the expedience of the hearing, it’s likely a phone hearing, meaning the NHL is only allowed to suspend him up to five games. But it’s another blow to the Flyers, who just got Brayden Schenn back from a three-game suspension and are missing Radko Gudas during his ongoing six-game suspension.
