Six misconducts handed out in last 5 minutes of Stars / Wild Game 2!
Chaotic end!
HockeyFeed
While it seemed that everyone was going to get a goal in Game 2 of the first round series between the Minnesota Wild and the Dallas Stars on Wednesday night, there were almost as many misconducts handed out than pucks at the back of Marc-Andre Fleury’s net.
The Stars evened the series at one game a piece thanks to a statement 7-3 win in Game 2, but the ending of that contest was all over the place.
It first started off with almost five minutes to go when Wild star Kirill Kaprizov and Stars’ Max Domi got into it and started swigging heavy blows in front of Dallas’ net. Both were ejected from the rest of the game with misconducts.
Then it was Marcus Foligno and Ryan Reaves’ turns - I guess you’re not surprised - to head down the tunnel before the end of the game with misconducts of their own.
Two more players were then kicked out of the game as Wild’s Brandon Duhaime and Stars captain Jamie Benn were handed misconducts as well.
The referees surely wanted to keep some control on the game as the Wild attempted to set the stage for the third contest of the series, in Minnesota, on Friday night.
