The Boston Bruins are visiting Ottawa this evening for a matchup with the Senators, playing the latter part of a consecutive game set, and this encounter carries a bit of an edge.
Toward the end of the second period, Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot nets a goal during a power play, bringing the score to 2-1. As he scores, the situation becomes quite intense; have a look.
Immediately after the puck hits the net, Bruins defenseman Parker Wotherspoon seems to exchange words with Chabot, sparking a confrontation. Senators forward Tim Stützle steps in to defend Chabot and ends up grappling Wotherspoon in a headlock.
As referees attempt to manage the chaos, Wotherspoon lands a punch in Stützle's mouth, while other players on the ice engage in confrontations, including Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy facing off against two Senators players in the corner.
