Hurricanes forward Jesse Puljujarvi dealt Acciari a high hit along the blue line as the Leafs forward was entering Toronto’s zone.
Acciari fell to the ice holding his face and left for the locker room immediately after the whistle. No penalty was called on the play.
The 31-year-old has collected 21 points (13 goals, eight assists) in 66 games so far this season.
