Asham and Hale come together and exchange shoves and high-sticks on the near-boards. The Devils came out flat and trailed 2-0, so Hale tries to spark the team. He drops the gloves grabs on and finally Asham obliges. Asham throws a good uppercut that connects flush and then Hale lands overhand right. They each throw a few rights, both connecting at least twice. Asham lands the better shots, one very solid. Eventually Asham gets Hale over and he falls to a knee. Hale then gets back up and takes down Asham. Asham came away from the scrap with a bloody jersey, trickling down from a spot near his eye that was opened from a high stick right before the bout. Other Penalties: Hale received an instigator and misconduct.
