In the third period, Troy Stetcher jumped on Sean Couturier after a collision with goaltender Stuart Skinner, showing his great team spirit. Both players dropped the gloves, but referees intervened before one of them could be sent to the floor.
A few minutes later, another fight emerged between Corey Perry and Joel Farabee. Right after a draw near the Edmonton Oilers' blue line, both players started to exchange blows in what looked like a planned brawl.
With less than 10 minutes remaining in the third period, and the Oilers trailing behind by one goal, Perry, as a good veteran leader, possibly felt the need to bring energy to his teammates and decided to fight.
Perry and the Oilers will visit the Nashville Predators tomorrow as they look to get their second win of the season against Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault.
