Less than a week after having a game misconduct penalty rescinded by the league, Philadelphia Flyers forward Harry Zolnierczyk will have a phone hearing with NHL Director of Player Safety Brendan Shanahan on Sunday for a hit on Ottawa Senators defenceman Mike Lundin and could face supplemental discipline. The incident occurred at the 9:13 mark in the first period of the Flyers Saturday afternoon, 2-1 victory over the Senators. Zolnierczyk appeared to leave his feet as he delivered a high hit to Lundin who remained down on the ice before leaving the game, and did not return to the game due to an upper-body injury. The Flyers forward was assessed a five-minute major for charging and a game misconduct.
