A frustrated Carter Verhaeghe would be the one to begin the conflict shoving Alexis Lafreniere in front of the net. The Rangers would then cut their celebration short to defend their teammate leading to an all out brawl.
On the play Matthew Tkachuk would get the only penalty sending the New York Rangers to the powerplay. Amongst all the chaos the Rangers still hold a 1-0 lead late in the first period of play.
