3pd 11:09	Jim Cummins (COL)	Bill Guerin (DAL)
Comments: The fight happens during a commercial break, but they showed the whole replay when they returned. Two big scrums break out, then when things seem to have settled, Cummins and Guerin drop the gloves and slug it out toe to toe at first, but then Jim took over and hammered Bill with several big rights. One seems to make Guerin turn away, and then they just tie each other up and the linesmen step in. Other Penalties: Guerin received a slashing, Brenden Morrow and Cody McCormick each received a roughing.

Comments: The Stars are on the power play and McCormick and Morrow decide to have a go. It starts off at the blue line with no square off. Each player grabs on and starts grappling for position. Morrow finally decides to start throwing and starts off with two rights that don't have much on them and come up short. McCormick then comes back with two lefts that are more like shoves, but he does take Morrow's helmet off during the exchange. They do some more spirited grappling. Morrow then comes with four over hand rights. Two come up short and two hit the side of McCormick's head. McCormick responds with two lefts to the side of Morrow's head.
