Washington Capitals defenceman John Erskine might be next on Brendan Shanahan’s discipline list.
Erskine caught Philadelphia Flyers forward Wayne Simmonds with an elbow during the first period of Friday night’s game. The hit lead to Zac Rinnaldo and Matt Hendricks dropping the gloves.
Simmonds laid on the ice for a few minutes before being helped off the ice by the Flyers trainer.
