Double Go in Edmonton, Brash Pops Boll

Three fights in six games Friday night and two of them took place in Edmonton. Steve MacIntyre returned for the Oilers in his first game back after suffering a broken orbital bone, but it was his partner-in-crime that found a fight with a Shark. Unfortunately just as Mac comes back, Zack Stortini may be leaving as he looked to injure his left knee when it got tangled underneath Brad Staubitz at the end of their bout.

A second period scrap between Jason Strudwick and Alexei Semenov was the game’s other fight. Matt Pettinger dancing with Ryan Getzlaf in Bolts–Ducks rounded out the night, with the exception of Donald Brashear popping Jared Boll towards the end of Jackets–Caps. Video of the altercation is below.
