Story summary

On Thursday night, in Philadelphia, NHL center Trevor Zegras from the Flyers received a two-minute minor penalty for delay of game during their 2-0 win over the Boston Bruins. The penalty was due to Zegras having his jersey tucked into his pants, which violates new equipment regulations. According to league rules, jerseys must be untucked at the start of each player's shift and a warning is typically given before issuing penalties for such infractions.

Zegras had signed a four-year extension worth an average annual value of $9.125 million in the offseason. He scored 26 goals and recorded 67 points last season, making him second on the team's scoring list. This recent penalty marks one of the first instances since at least 2013 when a player was penalized for having their jersey tucked in during gameplay.

Head coach Rick Tocchet noted that the league had informed teams about this crackdown several weeks prior to preseason games, emphasizing stricter enforcement on equipment wear including jerseys, neck guards, visors, and helmets.
