Gul summoned by the disciplinary committee

It was expected. Kaiden Guhle has been summoned by the NHL's Department of Player Safety for the sting he directed at Travis Konecny.

The gesture the Canadian defenseman is accused of occurred at the end of the second half on Thursday. The Canadian defender stood on the bench and hit his opponent in the chest with the tip of his stick. The latter had just come into confrontation with Juraj Slavkovski a few meters away.

When the siren was heard, the players of both teams gathered near the red line to talk face to face. This gesture, which remained unpunished, angered Flyers players.

“It was a dirty move. The guys were angry. He attacked our best player,” Morgan Frost said after the meeting.

“He should have been ejected from the match!” “You can't throw a guy off the bench,” Scott Laughton responded, without mentioning Gohle's name. This is the kind of sequence that referees should have the right to review. »

This is the first mistake of its kind for Gull, who is playing his second season at Pitman Arena. The hearing will be held later today by telephone.
