Johnny Gaudreau breaks 'the code' and then Tkachuk and Klingberg drop the gloves

Less than a minute into the game it appeared as though Johnny Gaudreau had been sprung on a breakaway, but the play was blown dead for offside. Everyone on the ice heard the whistle except for Johnny Gaudreau. Gaudreau continued towards the net and even fired a shot into the net past a stunned Jake Oettinger.

This action clearly upset the Stars and Oettinger specifically. A scrum broke out after the play and Matthew Tkachuk ultimately broke away with John Klingberg. On the play Klingberg was given 2-minutes for roughing while Tkachuk received 2-minutes of his own for cross checking.

The Stars went on to win 2-0 and tie this series at 1 game a piece.
