Untuck It! Flyers' Trevor Zegras Penalized for Having His Jersey Tucked Into His Pants
The NHL is enforcing equipment rules more strictly this season, and Zegras said he was warned before the automatic penalty.
- On Thursday, Philadelphia Flyers forward Trevor Zegras received a two-minute minor penalty for delay of game during the preseason matchup against the Boston Bruins when officials caught him with his jersey tucked into his pants.
- The NHL is strictly enforcing equipment regulations this season, including jerseys, neck guards, and helmets. League policy mandates jerseys remain untucked at the start of each shift, with a warning required before any penalty is assessed.
- "I started the game obviously with it tucked," Zegras said, explaining his playing habit. He received a warning before officials assessed the automatic penalty at 9:51 of the second period.
- Penalties for tucked jerseys are exceptionally rare, with the last recorded instances occurring in 2013. This incident marks the first preseason victim of the NHL's equipment enforcement this year.
- Zegras signed a four-year contract extension in the offseason worth $9.125 million annually and recorded 26 goals and 67 points last season, the second-highest total on the Flyers.
