Flyers' White ejected after blindside hit on Red Wings' Jurco
by from on (#110H8)
Philadelphia Flyers forward Ryan White was ejected from Sunday's game against the Detroit Red Wings after receiving a match penalty for a hit to the head of forward Tomas Jurco.
White caught an unsuspecting Jurco with a late, blindside hit as the Red Wings forward watched his shot towards Flyers goalie Michal Neuvirth. Jurco was shaken up, but returned to the game after the Flyers killed off a five-minute power play.
White, who was suspended five games for an illegal hit to the head of then-Flyers defenseman Kent Huskins in 2013, appears likely to face discipline from the league once again after this hit.
