Cairns then throws a handful of punches at the turtling Purinton. Godard starts shoving everyone and Simon grabs him. Godard with rights, Simon with lefts, some good punches back and forth. Simon falls down and Godard falls on top. Other Penalties: Matt Barnaby and Arron Asham each received a roughing; Godard an obstruction hooking.

Time Away Home
2pd 02:18 Dan LaCouture (NYR) Eric Godard (NYI)
Comments: Perhaps avenging Lacouture's running of Kvasha in the last meeting, he asks Dan to go off the draw. Long squareoff. Godard throws an early right and Lacouture counters with a couple of his own. Then Godard lands two big rights and Dan goes down to a knee. Godard lets up and allows Dan to get back up. The fight continues with Godard pelting Dan with right after right and the linesmen, seeing how the fight is one-sided decide to break it up.
Voted winner: Eric Godard (97.2%) - Voted rating: 6.9
