Camera catches Pastrnak asking Montgomery permission to fight Tkachuk

The second half of the third period between the Bruins and the Panthers went exactly how you'd guess it would happen with Boston trailing behind 6-1.

A whopping total of 12 game misconducts were handed out by the referees, leaving not many players on the benches for the rest of the game.

It culminated when David Pastrnak and Matthew Tkachuk dropped the gloves.

After a big scrum, they were captured on camera agreeing to drop the gloves, then going over to their bench to ask permission to their head coaches.

Watch how it went down here:

On the next shift, both players jumped on the ice and a fight went down.

Here's a video of their altercation:

The third clash between the Panthers and the Bruins promises to be an exciting one. As both teams return to Boston for the next two games, with the series tied 1-1 and with their rivalry reaching a new level in game 2, we can't wait to see what'll happen in Boston tomorrow night.
