VIDEO: Canucks, Flames cap Game 2 with line brawl; over 100 penalty minutes handed out

Anne-Marie Sorvin-USA TODAY Sports

The Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames got down to business at the end of the second game of their best-of-seven opening-round series Friday night. 

The game, which the Canucks won 4-1, to tie the series 1-1, ended with a good, old-fashioned line brawl:

Over 100 penalty minutes were handed out, with Deryk Engelland coming away with - unofficially - a double game misconduct in addition to an instigator game misconduct

Engelland could be facing a one-game suspension, and Flames head coach Bob Hartley a $10,000 fine, should the penalties stick, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie

As of 1:40 a.m. ET Saturday morning, officials were still reviewing what happened, and going over the game sheet, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.

"It was a heat-of-the-moment thing. A good rivalry is growing," Engelland said after the game. The big man was essentially taking on Dan Hamhuis and Derek Dorsett in the brawl. 

McKenzie tweeted at 2 a.m. ET that Engelland's three game misconducts are in different categories, so he's not facing an automatic suspension, though he could still be suspended for picking up an instigator penalty with less than five minutes to go. The NHL has options. A lot of them, apparently:

Engelland's fate will likely be decided over the weekend.
