Two shifts into his NHL career, #CBJ rookie PF Dmitri Voronkov has already dumped a #GoHabsGo forward to the ice with a big clean hit and smashed the Habs' enforcer defenseman into the boards for an illegal hit ... touching off a fight.
Boarding on Sillinger but a roughing on Montreal at the same time. 4-on-4 hockey. #CBJ
Sillinger gets a boarding penalty, Tanner Pearson a roughing penalty, so twice we've had a #CBJ hit that drew a call and then the Habs even it up with their response.
We're almost 7 mins into it and all hell is about to break loose between #CBJ and #GoHabsGo ... Sillinger with a bad hit from behind touches off another scrum ... Slafkovsky was ragdolling Danforth for blocking his path to Sillinger. Sillinger 2 for boarding, Pearson 2 roughing
Now #CBJ Sillinger goes off at 6:50 for boarding. #GoHabsGo to the power play. A spicy start to this one.
#CBJ Voronkov starts his NHL career in style. Hammers Xehkaj from behind (boarding) and then fights the Habs tough guy. Looks like Xehkaj is getting an extra minor, too, so even-strength at 4:39 of the first.
It took two shifts for Dmitri Vornkov to drop the gloves, and it's a big-boy tilt, going with Arber Xhekaj after Voronkov boarded him. Two massive dudes going right there, and Xhekaj got the better of it in the end. #CBJ
Voronkov steps up on Ylonen and drops him at center ice during his first NHL shift. #CBJ
