BOSTON — A big hit by Tampa Bay Lightning center Cedric Paquette led to a brief skirmish between the 24-year-old and Boston Bruins center Frank Vatrano.
While Bruins defenseman Torey Krug was skating behind the Bruins net to try and corral a puck, he was hit hard by Paquette. Vatrano appeared less than pleased with the hit and proceeded to lay out and trip Paquette. He then skated over to him and began to fight.
Here’s the hit on Krug that started it all:
And here’s Vatrano’s response:
Vatrano and Paquette got four minutes apiece for their actions. Vatrano for roughing and tripping, Paquette for roughing and boarding.
