One of the shining hallmarks of NHL games is that they tend to have a healthy helping of fights and scrums that come with the heightened tensions on the ice. Wednesday night's game between the Detroit Red Wings and Buffalo Sabres didn't disappoint in that regard,

Both teams went on to complete the 60 minutes of play with Wings and Sabres combining for 150 penalty minutes, with 136 of them coming in the third period alone. When all was said and done, Detroit secured a 7-3 win over Buffalo to snap a six-game losing streak, but the chaos on the ice stole the spotlight.

Buffalo’s Alex Tuch and Detroit captain Michael Rasmussen were the first to drop the gloves in the fight-filled third period of the Red Wings’ 7-3 victory.
