Watch: Flyers’ Schenn catches Smith with brutal headshot

Brayden Schenn may once again be sidelined as the result of a suspension.

The Philadelphia Flyers forward caught Detroit Red Wings defenseman Brendan Smith with a headshot during the second period of Wednesday's game. The hit in question went undetected by officials.

Schenn can likely expect at least a hearing with the league, but could face more after receiving a suspension during last season's playoffs. The 25-year-old missed the first three games of the regular season as a result of his charge on Washington Capitals forward T.J. Oshie during Game 6 of the Flyers' quarterfinal series.

Smith left the game in the second period following the hit, but returned in the third.
