Watch the video above and wonder: “How many games will Zac Rinaldo get for this one?”
The hit on Sean Couturier closed out the first period of the Boston Bruins - Philadelphia Flyers game tonight, and it’s a little too early to figure out the exact damage.
We already know that Rinaldo has a game misconduct.
NBCSN’s Keith Jones believes that the check is not worthy of a suspension. Instead, he believes that the on-ice penalties (five-minute charging major, game misconduct) were enough.
Others seem to see a suspension coming, and wonder if he’s another repeat offender like, say, Raffi Torres.
Julien said this morning he liked how Rinaldo was not being a "one-dimensional" player. Until tonight. Again.

Rinaldo headed toward 4th career suspension. Book it.

What do you think, then?
Per a source, the @NHLPlayerSafety already reviewing the Zac Rinaldo charging hit on Sean Couturier. No big surprise there

Note: So far, not so good for Couturier:
Sean Couturier did not return for the second period.
