| 3pd 17:15 | Jim McKenzie (NJD) | Darren Langdon (CAR) |
| Comments: It starts right after the Stevens-Battaglia fight. At the faceoff both players are talking and they throw off the gloves. Jim throws about six or sevens bombs that look to hit Landgon on the side of the head or helmet. Then Landgon tries to hug McKenzie, but Jim will not have any of that. Landgon tries to come back with some rights and lefts while trying to get loose from McKenzie. They both end up across the ice near the boards. Langdon manages to throw a right that knocks the helmet of McKenzie off. McKenzie then tries to throw some more punches, but both players are tired and the linesmen break it up along the boards. | ||
