The last time the Rangers and Bruins met, tensions boiled over after a Rangers forward threw a dirty hit on a Boston Bruins defenseman.
Parker Wotherspoon was dumping the puck into the Rangers zone, when Brennan Othmann blind side hit him, causing him to miss the rest of the period.
Wotherspoon would return for the second period, but at the end of the second period, Wotherspoon made Othmann answer for his dirty hit earlier in the game.

After the fight Parker Wotherspoon took Brennan Othmann's helmet and threw it against the boards. Othmann openly spoke about this three days later that he did not respect Wotherspoon's decision to do this.
The Boston Bruins and Rangers meet again tonight, and it's possible we could see some more fireworks.
