With 5 minutes left in the 1st and the score 1-0 Blue Jackets. Columbus' Goalie Elvis Merzlikins went down to cover up a loose puck to end the play sequence. Rookie Cole Sillinger was in front of the net when Bruins' forward Trent Frederic came from behind and took Sillinger's legs out causing him to fall to the ice.
Jakub Voracek immediately went over to confront Frederic. Punches and words were thrown. They both were sent off for two minutes each for roughing. Things still looked heated as they continued to chirp each other from the penalty box.
It was good of Voracek to stand up for Cole Sillinger. It was a greasy play by Frederic.
