Choosing to fight Boston Bruins defenseman Kevan Miller isn’t a great idea, but Vancouver Canucks forward Derek Dorsett took on the challenge anyway during Thursday night’s game at TD Garden.
These two players dropped their gloves for a fight with less than a minute remaining in the first period and the Bruins having a 4-1 lead.
This fight was Miller’s first of the season. He fought three times during the 2016-17 campaign.
It was the second fight of the period. B’s forward Tim Schaller fought Erik Gudbranson after the Canucks defenseman took a five-minute major penalty for boarding Boston forward Frank Vatrano. Gudbranson also was ejected from the game.
