Claude Giroux's suspension for an illegal hit to the head of Dainius Zubrus in Game 4 is the only reason Zac Rinaldo is in the Flyers lineup for Game 5, but it didn't take the agitator long to make his mark.
Just 6:28 into the first period, Rinaldo absolutely destroyed Devils defenseman Anton Volchenkov with a clean hit.
Rinaldo often walks on the edge, but this hit was of the clean variety. It wasn't a charge, and he kept his skates on the ice while hitting Volchenkov directly in the chest.
The Devils' big, physical defenseman left the game with an injury, but he did return about six minutes of game time later, so it doesn't appear to be anything too serious.
