New York Rangers at Atlanta Thrashers

Jan 28, 2003

Time	Away	Home
3pd 16:43	Dale Purinton (NYR)	Chris Tamer (ATL)
Comments: After a shot on the Atlanta net and the Rangers losing badly, Purinton takes an extra poke at the goaltender. Tamer skates over to move Purinton away, but Purinton just drops the gloves and starts pounding away. He throws four or five punches, mostly to the back of Tamer's head as he tried to get away. The refs are immediately breaking it up, as Tamer was not fighting back. Other Penalties: Purinton received an instigator, misconduct and game misconduct; Tamer a roughing. Chris Tamer did not receive a fighting major.
