Flyers prospect Pascal Laberge is dealing with a concussion after taking a head shot from Zachary Malatesta in a Quebec League game over the weekend.
Laberge, who plays for the QMJHL’s Victoriaville Tigres, was Philadelphia’s second round pick, 36th overall during last summer’s NHL Entry Draft.
Malatesta has been suspended indefinitely.
The video footage isn’t the greatest, but it’s clear enough that the hit was extremely dangerous.
Headshot by Monctons' (QMJHL) Zachary Malatesta on Flyers prospect Pascal Laberge is sickening and revolting. No place in game for this. pic.twitter.com/avWJhopBoY
