Flyers forward fights two Senators during the same stoppage of play
Last night, midway through the second period of the Flyers and Senators game, Flyers forward and resident tough guy Nick Deslauriers dropped the gloves with Auston Watson in a spirited tilt. As he was being escorted to the penalty box, Mark Kastelic of the Sens and Deslauriers got into a verbal altercation.
The verbal altercation appeared to set Deslauriers off and he challenged Kastelic to a fight. After escaping the grasp of the linesman, Deslauriers and Kastelic squared off against the boards by the penalty boxes with Deslauriers landing a few shots on Kastelic as the linesmen attempted to break the fight up.
It was the second and third fight of the period as just a minute before Alex DeBrincat and Joel Farabee fought. Kastelic was assested two 10 minute misconducts and 5 minutes for fighting, with Deslauriers receiving 10 minutes for fighting and a 10 minute misconduct.
It's certainly not something that you see everyday, and I can't remember the last time a player fought twice during the same stoppage in play, but it would not be surprising to see the Department of Player Safety fine Deslaurier and Kastelic, which would be stupid.
