The chaos began when Hurricanes defenseman Dmitry Orlov threw a punch, sparking a brawl that involved Rangers players Jimmy Vesey and Jesperi Kotkaniemi among others.
The incident, captured and shared widely online, resulted in minor penalties for Vesey, Barclay Goodrow of the Rangers, and Orlov and Kotkaniemi of the Hurricanes. Despite the penalties, the game remained 5-on-5.
