Trevor Zegras receives misconduct penalty during Flyers loss to Wild

Philadelphia Flyers forward Trevor Zegras received a 10-minute misconduct during a 4-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday night. The penalty occurred early in the second period after Zegras protested a goal scored by the Wild.

The goal resulted from a puck striking referee Kyle Rehman and rebounding to Joel Eriksson Ek, who scored to extend Minnesota's lead to 3-0. Under NHL rules, officials are considered part of the playing area, and the goal was valid. Zegras reacted to the play by striking his stick on the ice and arguing with the official.

Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet expressed dissatisfaction with the outburst, noting that players should not show up officials regardless of frustration. Zegras later took full accountability for the decision, calling it a “stupid decision” driven by frustration. Despite the misconduct, the Flyers were not shorthanded during the penalty period.
