Many thought it should have been a penalty, as David Pastrnak was hit from behind by former Boston Bruin AJ Greer, and looked like he was stunned by the hit for a couple seconds as he laid there motionless on the ice.
Pavel Zacha did not waste anytime and went over to AJ Greer, not even giving him a chance to drop the gloves, he just forced him too.
The Boston Bruins came into this game looking to get some revenge not only on the scoreboard but also on players as well, and this game has gotten ugly pretty quickly in the first period.
Not long after the hit on Pastrnak took place, the Boston Bruins had their fourth line out and were looking to make a statement after there was no call on the Pastrnak hit. Unexpectedly it was Charlie McAvoy laying a hit on Carter Verhaeghe that would end up being called for a penalty, and hell broke lose following that.
Each player ended up grabbing someone and a brawl broke out. Mark Kastelic tried to go at Carter Verhaeghe, but just like last game the Panthers do not want to answer to any of the Bruins.
The Boston Bruins currently trail 2-1 to the Florida Panthers.
