The incident occurred during last night's game, where the Penguins secured a 3-0 shutout victory over the Jets. Just over four minutes into the second period, Acciari was carrying the puck through the neutral zone when he collided with Dillon.
Dillon's shoulder made contact with Acciari's head, causing his helmet to fly off and sparking a scrum as Penguins teammates rushed to his defense. Acciari remained shaken up on the ice following the hit.
Dillon has contributed six goals and 15 points in 47 games for the Jets this season, marking his third season with the team. The extent of his suspension will be revealed later today, while Acciari's condition was still being evaluated by head coach Mike Sullivan following last night's game.
