Boston Bruins forward Trevor Kuntar was coming down the middle with the puck, attempting to get a shot off, and got caught with a big open ice hit.
Kuntar was not a fan of the hit and a big scrum followed.
Earlier in the game Trevor Kuntar was seen throwing multiple cross-checks to Will Cuylle's back while he was digging for a puck in the Boston Bruins crease, and Cuylle got his revenge by catching Kuntar in open ice with a big hit.
The Boston Bruins dressed some of their big guns for the game, looking to beat the Rangers after losing to them in their preseason opener, but that didn't change things.
The Boston Bruins would go on to lose to the New York Rangers 5-2.
