Two Swedish junior hockey teams obliterated the NHL's single-game record for penalty minutes Sunday.
Aker/Strängnäs HC and Flemingsbergs IK racked up a whopping 871 penalty minutes during their game, which was played before a crowd of just 67. The NHL record is 419 minutes, set during a brawl between the Ottawa Senators and Philadelphia Flyers in 2004.
