Radko Gudas is at it again.

The Philadelphia Flyers pest pasted Jimmy Vesey into the boards from behind late in the first period of Monday's preseason game against the New York Rangers.

Gudas was given a five-minute major for boarding and a game misconduct. Vesey returned to the game early in the second period.

The Flyers defenseman was suspended three games for a hit to the head of then-Ottawa Senators forward Mika Zibanejad last December.

Gudas has a long history of questionable hits, including a handful in a span of less than four months last season.

Rangers head coach Alain Vigneault referred to that history after the game.

"I've seen that hit many times before from that player," he told reporters, according to the New York Post's Brett Cyrgalis. "I'll just leave it at that."
