Untuck it! Flyers’ Trevor Zegras penalized for having his jersey tucked into his pants

Philadelphia Flyers center Trevor Zegras became the first preseason player to face the NHL's version of the tuck rule. The 24-year-old was assessed a two-minute minor penalty for delay of game during the Flyers' 2-0 win against the Boston Bruins on Thursday night. Zegras was penalized for improperly wearing equipment, specifically for his jersey being tucked into his pants.

According to NHL regulations, jerseys must be untucked at the start of a player's shift, and a warning is given before a penalty is issued. Zegras explained that his jersey was tucked before the game started, but he continued to play with it tucked due to his usual playing style. The last instance of a tucked jersey penalty was recorded in 2013.

This is Zegras' fourth year with the Flyers, for whom he signed a four-year extension in the offseason with an average annual value of $9.125 million. Last season, Zegras set a career-high with 26 goals and 67 points, ranking second on the team. He added two goals and four assists in the playoffs.
