3pd 19:41	Jason Wiemer (NYI)	Brian Sutherby (WAS)
Comments: The Isles' Bergenheim partially collides with Kolzig and Kolzig takes exception and yells some words at Bergenheim. Witt starts lookng for trouble and some revenge for the spill Kolzig took. Bergenheim then rams Ettinger into the boards and a few seconds later at center ice a brawl/scrum erupts. Witt goes after Cairns and in come the fighters. Everyone has a partner with Witt-Cairns and Sutherby-Wiemer as the main attractions. The Witt/Carins scrap is between the linesmen so not much happens. At the same time, Sutherby and Weimer have each other's jerseys. Suddenly, Sutherby gives Wiemer a right and away they go. Weimer starts throwing lefts, a couple connected. Sutherby than lands a strong right, before Wiemer answers with a left. After some quick grappling, Sutherby loses his balance along the boards and goes down. Meanwhile, Godard had to be restrained by Kerry Fraser as he somehow did not find a partner during the skirmish. Godard dropped the gloves, but didn't give Fraser a hard time about being restrained. Other Penalties: Janne Niinimaa, Eric Godard, Eric Cairns and Brendan Witt each received a roughing.
