Weekend Recap: Middleweights Mingle

There was a total of twelve fights this weekend and the majority of them featured the middleweights. Not that much of a surprise these days, but a handful of games had the potential to produce some serious heavyweight matchups.

Three multi-fight games went down. The Jackets and Flyers led the way with three on Saturday. Wayne Simmonds handled Derek Dorsett, the ever-active Cody Bass edged out Zac Rinaldo and Harry Zolnierczyk got into his first NHL regular season scrap with James Wisniewski.

Short tilts pitting Kevin Bieksa against Jamal Mayers and Aaron Volpatti with Daniel Carcillo closed out the weekend during the second period of Canucks–Hawks.
