There were six fights in the opening period of the New York Rangers' clash with the Washington Capitals game on Wednesday night as a controversy between the two sides rumbled on.
There was bad blood between the teams after Monday's game in which Capitals enforcer Tom Wilson committed a series of penalties, including one which knocked Rangers' star Artemi Panarin out for the rest of the season with a lower body injury. Wilson was subsequently fined $5,000 by the NHL, which the Rangers viewed as a slap on the wrist in light of the severity of his actions. In contrast, the NBA fined Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving $35,000 on Wednesday for skipping press conferences.
