Then, things got heated between Rangers' forward Will Cuylle and Martin Pospisil after Pospisil shoved Kaapo Kakko seemingly out of the blue. Both Cuylle and Pospisil ended up in the penalty box for roughing, setting up a 4-on-4 situation.
Minutes later, Artemi Panarin got tangled up with Pospisil after a hit in the corner, and suddenly, it was a free-for-all. Erik Gustafsson, Panarin, and Alexis Lafreniere from the Blueshirts found themselves serving time in the penalty box, while Brayden Pachal and Pospisil represented the Flames.
Calgary managed to snag a power play opportunity, but it was short-lived as Trouba swooped in, poking the puck away from Jonathan Huberdeau, who ended up tripping him in the process. Despite the brief power play, tensions remained sky-high as the game returned to even strength. This matchup has suddenly become a must-watch with emotions running wild on both sides.
