Pietrangelo was also handed a two-minute roughing minor for his part in the ensuing skirmish. The veteran blue-liner was bleeding from his nose but didn't miss a shift.

Despite being known for his physical style of play, Anderson has never been suspended or fined in his nine-year NHL career.

The Golden Knights defeated the Canadiens 6-4 for their seventh win in a row.
