Summary
Most Philadelphia Flyers players took warmups with their jerseys tucked into their pants, protesting the penalty Trevor Zegras drew for the same move in the previous preseason game.
Zegras had been whistled under the NHL's tighter equipment-enforcement push, which the league says covers items such as visors, neck guards and other protective gear.
Zegras also pushed back before the game by posting youth-hockey photos showing he has long worn his jersey that way, but the protest did not appear to change the rule's enforcement.
Washington then beat Philadelphia 5-1, dropping the Flyers to 1-3 in preseason play ahead of their regular-season opener against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
