Anaheim Ducks forward thought that Jay Beagle "should be embarrassed" for his actions towards Troy Terry following his team's 5-0 win over the Arizona Coyotes on Friday.
With 5:37 remaining in regulation, Beagle fought Terry after cross-checking Zegras in the back during a scrum in front of Arizona's net. The Coyotes were down 5-0 at that time.
"I get that you're gonna hit me in the back but you don't punch a guy when he's down. Especially a 32-goal scorer in the NHL who's a superstar. I think it's embarrassing, I think it's a bad look for the league," Zegras told reporters after the game.
"For the player that did, it's humiliating and I think he should be f******* punished."
"I get that he's gonna punch him maybe once," Zegras continued. "But the fact that he's down and he's not engaged in the fight and you're gonna hit him three more times? I think it's embarrassing. I think he should be embarrassed."
The NHL Department of Player Safety hasn't announced any news on the matter yet but scheduled a hearing for a separate incident in Friday's game involving Arizona's Nick Ritchie and Anaheim's Kevin Shattenkirk.
