Multiple fights break out, coaches scream at each other as Bruins-Jets game turns ugly
NY Post
The Bruins were getting embarrassed, so they decided to turn the game into a slugfest.
Tuesday’s game against the Jets in Winnipeg turned ugly in the third period, with multiple fights breaking out and the two head coaches screaming at one another as Boston gave up five goals in the third in an 8-1 loss.
After Alex Iafallo’s power-play goal 7:19 into the third put the Jets ahead, 6-1, Bruins forward Trent Frederic went after the Jets’ David Gustafsson, who had never been in an NHL fight.
Gustafsson was helped off the ice after Frederic landed a big right hand and was being evaluated by Winnipeg’s medical team after the game.
Then Bruins forward Mark Kastelic and Jets defenseman Logan Stanley threw down, with both guys getting game misconducts.
Jets coach Scott Arniel, a former Rangers assistant under Alain Vigneault, then started screaming at Joe Sacco, the Bruins interim head coach who replaced the fired Jim Montgomery last month.
Will Cuylle did not get a second of power-play ice time through the Rangers’ pair of man advantages and Will Cuylle did not get on the ice after Igor Shesterkin was pulled late in Monday’s 2-1 Garden defeat to the last-overall Blackhawks.
In the span of 48 hours this past weekend, Igor Shesterkin became both the highest-paid goaltender in NHL history and a father of two.
