Watch: Byfuglien goes after Lehner as Jets, Sabres brawl again at final buzzer

Streamable

Robin Lehner was an unlikely participant in Saturday's late-game brouhaha between the Buffalo Sabres and Winnipeg Jets.

The Sabres goaltender shoved Jets forward Bryan Little, drawing the ire of imposing Jets defenseman Dustin Byfuglien. A scrum broke out in front of Lehner's crease immediately after the final horn sounded, with Byfuglien reaching over a dislodged net to land a punch on the goaltender.

It was the second melee of the day between the two clubs, the first of which erupted after Jake McCabe's clean but devastating hit on Patrik Laine, which knocked the Jets star out of the game.

It was a very costly loss for the Jets, who in addition to losing Laine blew a 3-1 lead in the third period and lost 4-3.
