Philadelphia Flyers forward Dale Weise has been suspended three games following an illegal check to the head of Anaheim Ducks defenseman Korbinian Holzer, the NHL's Department of Player Safety announced Friday.
The incident occurred during the Flyers' 3-2 loss Thursday, and Weise wasn't assessed a penalty on the play.
With Weise sidelined, the Flyers lead the NHL in man games lost to suspension, as forward Brayden Schenn and defenseman Radko Gudas have also served time for infractions this season.
Weise will be eligible to return Oct. 27 versus the Arizona Coyotes.
