VIDEO: Ben Bishop goes after Brandon Prust during commercial break

An interesting scene developed during a second period commercial break in Saturday's game between the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning.

Ben Bishop and Brandon Prust entered the same area of the ice while the crew was shovelling the snow, at which point Bishop went after the Montreal enforcer and challenged him to a fight while Prust appears to put his stick in a tender spot.

Bishop was given a minor penalty for leaving the crease, while Prust was sent to the box for unsportsmanlike conduct. George Parros and Radko Gudas were also penalized for their roles in the scrum that ensued.

The Lightning goalie was playing in his first game since getting bumped in the head by Nikita Kucherov.
