The incident occurred in the 7th minute of play in the third period. Tkachuk (Panthers) and Pastrnak (Bruins) – two opponents – started hitting each other. The fight gained momentum when the first city punched the second in the head, causing him to lose his helmet. The match referees therefore had to intervene to avoid an incident – already very serious – while the actors in this scene were on the ground. Once separated, the two players left the ice as if nothing had happened. Final score: 6-1 for Florida Panthers.
