Zegras went down on the ice but stayed in the game after the hit.
The 24-year-old forward is having an outstanding first season with Philadelphia. He’s leading the Flyers with 26 points in 26 games since joining the team.
Dahlin has a clean disciplinary record through eight NHL seasons. The Swedish defenseman has never been suspended during his career.
