The fight breakdown

This one comes off the draw, right after the previous fight between Ross Johnston and Michael Haley had all been sorted. The two would end up going before the puck had technically been dropped, so both were ejected afterward.

The two clinch up immediately with Matt Martin being the first to send off a flurry of punches. They then reset as they start to spin towards the Islanders bench. Martin throws a couple more before Brendan Smith gets his first punch off. Martin swings a couple of wide ones that miss behind Smith's head. The two are tired and so they come in close and the linesmen send them off.
