Former Flyers Fan Favourite Gets Demolished in Heavyweight Tilt
Former Philadelphia Flyers forward Zack MacEwen was traded to the LA Kings at the deadline, but he's making headlines for all the wrong reasons after a dangerous hit against Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Ben Hutton. The hit may lead to discipline from the NHL player safety committee.
Hutton was injured in the hit, and his defensive partner Nicolas Hague stood up for him by feeding MacEwen several blows in a lopsided tilt. The incident highlights the ongoing issue of dangerous hits in the NHL.
MacEwen's hit and subsequent fight serve as a reminder that the NHL must do more to protect its players from potentially life-altering injuries. While fighting is part of the game, players must be held accountable for dangerous hits that can cause serious harm like this, or long-term concussion trauma.
