Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson earned a game misconduct during the third period of Tuesday's blowout against the Chicago Blackhawks after joining a scrum in an attempt to fight counterpart Petr Mrazek.

Gibson skated the length of the ice following a tussle between Radko Gudas and MacKenzie Entwistle in which Mrazek had intervened.

Goalies aren't allowed to cross the red line.

A total of nine penalties were handed out after the skirmish. Mrazek, Gudas, and Blackhawks forward Reese Johnson also received misconducts.

The Blackhawks were up 6-2 at the time of the chaos and added another goal on the power play after the dust settled.
