New York Rangers forward Brennan Othmann called out Boston Bruins defenseman moments before their clash tonight.

The last time the Rangers and Bruins met, tensions boiled over after a Rangers forward threw a dirty hit on a Boston Bruins defenseman.

Parker Wotherspoon was dumping the puck into the Rangers zone, when Brennan Othmann blind side hit him, causing him to miss the rest of the period.

Wotherspoon would return for the second period, but at the end of the second period, Wotherspoon made Othmann answer for his dirty hit earlier in the game.

After the fight Parker Wotherspoon took Brennan Othmann's helmet and threw it against the boards. Othmann openly spoke about this three days later that he did not respect Wotherspoon's decision to do this.

"I respect him for coming in like that," Othmann told reporters Wednesday, per Peter Baugh of The Athletic. "Nothing really happened. No punches were really thrown. It was more grab and tussle. I didn't really appreciate him smacking my head off the ice a little bit and throwing my helmet. ...I respect him for coming in and wanting to fight. But it just didn't really sit well with me that he had to do that considering he played in the NHL basically last year and I'm just a young kid. I get it. I have to answer the bell sometimes. But that situation there, I just didn't really appreciate that just considering his status."

The Boston Bruins and Rangers meet again tonight, and it's possible we could see some more fireworks.
