Flyers' 27-Year-Old Defenseman faces Ejection for Unsportsmanlike Conduct Against Lightning's Perry

Tony DeAngelo is a talented defenseman who can flash offensive skills from the blue line and quarterback a power play's top unit. However, he has discipline issues, which came to light again.

Tony DeAngelo has disciplinary issues

In 2021, New York Rangers put him on waiver after an incident with then-teammate  Alexandar Georgiev after a home loss at Madison Square Garden.

Lightning teammates then surrounded DeAngelo and took him down to the ice in the slot before his Philadelphia linemates joined to defend him. He received a five-minute penalty, was ejected from the 5-2 loss, and could face further discipline from the league.

"That's the line you walk, as far as going over the edge," Tortorella said. "I want him to have his personality, to have that competitiveness. A couple of guys I did sit, I wish a little of that would rub off on them. But again, I haven't seen it, but I think he may have crossed the line."
