Family Matters

Donald Brashear not only took on one but both Brookbank brothers in separate fights this weekend. After dancing with Wade in Saturday’s heavyweight attraction, the Donald dropped the gloves with Sheldon during the first period of yesterday’s Devils-Caps game. The two bouts marked the first time Brashear had fought in nearly two months.

An unusually busy Sunday for fights saw a near brawl erupt between the Blackhawks and Ducks after Todd Bertuzzi ran into Patrick Lalime. The two exchanged some gloved punches before everyone else came barreling in. James Wisniewski and Corey Perry received the only fighting majors out of the bunch. Adam Burish took on Brian Sutherby earlier in the game.

Two fights in two periods in Manhattan last night: Gregory Campbell and Brandon Dubinsky went in the first; Tanner Glass and Ryan Hollweg had a go in the second.

An entertaining scrap between Ian Laperriere and Mathieu Roy rounded out the night.

Deadline Destination

For the third consecutive year, hockeyfights.com will be covering the NHL’s trade deadline, providing ongoing coverage throughout the course of the day. As always, we’ll try to make tomorrow as easy to follow as possible.

This day last season was a busy one and it’s pretty safe to assume that this time around won’t be any different.
