Volpatti Drops Winchester, Suspensions Continue

After a couple of quiet preseason days we saw some action last night from rivalry games and players battling for roster spots.

The highlight of the night, from the Canucks–Sharks game, was Aaron Volpatti dropping Brad Winchester with one punch. Winchester skated right into the shot and then sat on the ice for a few moments before being escorted off with help. He returned in the third period.

There were two other fights in the game: Jamie McGinn scrapping with Keith Ballard and heavyweights Todd Fedoruk facing off against Jim Vandermeer.

Jersey and Philly saw multiple fight as well. Stephane Veilleux and Harry Zolnierczyk picked up majors, somehow. It was a quick one that could have been called double roughings, but still a worthy clip to watch thanks to an amazing save by Martin Brodeur. Brad Mills and Zac Rinaldo dropped the gloves later on in a fight controlled by Mills.

Suspensions are the new candy
