Jeff Skinner on His First Fight

The big news this preseason was that you now have a profile page on HockeyFights.com. What led to your scrap with Kris Russell(notes) of the Columbus Blue Jackets?

We just sort of got tangled up in front of the net. I don’t know how it happened; I guess it was just in the heat of the moment. It wasn’t one of those things we were both looking for. Neither one of us was really overly mad.

It ended pretty quick, which I guess was good for me. It wasn’t much of a fight. More of a wrestling match I guess.
