Where We Left Off

A league-wide day off didn’t slow anything down, as there were five fights in six games Monday night.  The numbers are still quite high, and no one is complaining here.

A couple of rivalries produced some bouts.  Aaron Voros went with Nate Thompson in the Islanders–Rangers game, and the Sabres–Sens series continued to be fiesty.  Mike Fisher and Mike Weber had a short-lived go, but Chris Neil and Andrew Peters swung away later on.

In the West, Derek Dorsett continued his introduction to the NHL last night with two fights against the Ducks.
