Watch: Predators, Canadiens get into heated brawl
Steve Roberts-USA TODAY Sports / USA TODAY Sports
Things got a little chippy between the Nashville Predators and Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday night.
Midway through the third period - after a collision in front of Predators goalie Pekka Rinne - a mini-brawl ensued with P.K. Subban and Brendan Gallagher front and center. After things had mostly settled down, Rinne gave Gallagher a shove and chaos erupted once again.
The shenanigans concluded with a total of five minor penalties handed out.
As for Rinne, he later apologized to Gallagher, according to Sportsnet's Eric Engels.
That's hockey for you.
