Tootoo levels Semin at the Caps' blue line with an open ice hit. Tootoo starts pushing and shoving with a Cap after the hit. While he's pushing with one Cap, Verot comes over to challenge him. Tootoo accepts and they shed the gloves. Verot gets the fight started with a right that goes over Tootoo's head. While Verot is bringing his hand back, he removes Tootoo's helmet. Verot tries another right that goes over Tootoo's head again. Verot then throws a weak right that hits the back of Tootoo's neck. They throw simultaneous punches. Tootoo throws a left that hits Verot's shoulder or face, Verot's right comes under Tootoo's left and looks to hit Tootoo's chin or cheek pretty flush. Tootoo responds with a short left that lands flush and knocks down Verot. Verot gets back up and they grapple for a second or two before Tootoo takes down Verot. Tootoo might have landed a left to the back of Verot's head on the way down.
