The honeymoon is over for Taylor Hall.

After receiving a standing ovation following a video tribute in his return to Edmonton, the New Jersey Devils forward drew the ire of former teammate Zack Kassian for an elbow delivered right off a faceoff early in the third period.

Kassian attacked Hall in the aftermath, and their teammates came to their defense, sparking a brief line brawl.

Hall's elbow went uncalled by the officials, but he was given a double minor for high-sticking, while Kassian received a roughing minor.
