Radko Gudas suspended three games for check to the head

The Flyers defenseman will miss three games due to an ugly hit thrown on Tuesday evening in Ottawa.

For the first time this season, the Flyers have found themselves in the crosshairs of the NHL Department of Player Safety, and it's defenseman Radko Gudas who finds himself paying the price for a bad hit thrown on Tuesday night on Mika Zibanejad of the Ottawa Senators.

The points in the video here are all valid. It points out that Gudas went up from a crouched position, put a forearm into the head of Zibanejad, and ultimately made head contact on a hit where it was avoidable.
