Philadelphia Flyers forward Dale Weise will have a hearing with the NHL’s department of player safety Friday afternoon to discuss an illegal check to the head he delivered to Anaheim Ducks defenceman Korbinian Holzer Thursday night.
During the second period of the Ducks’ 3-2 victory over the Flyers at Wells Fargo Center, Weise left his feet as his shoulder made direct contact with Holzer’s face. Watch the play:
Weise was not penalized on the play.
Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf tripped Weise in retaliation for the high hit and was given a two-minute minor.
