Things got chippy early in the first period at Capital One Arena between the Bruins and Capitals.
After David Pastrnak put Boston up 1-0 over Washington at about the halfway mark of the opening 20 minutes, two heavyweights dropped the gloves.
Tom Wilson cross-checked Zdeno Chara, which didn’t sit well the 6-foot-9 captain, and the two got tangled up with one another. The two exchanged blows, with Chara narrowly getting the takedown.
