Breaking news: Lightning player Brandon Huggel has been fined for assault in an altercation with Sabres player Rasmus Dahlin

There are some extended consequences following one of the craziest games we have seen in a long time.

On Monday, the NHL Department of Player Safety fined Tampa Bay Lightning forward Brandon Hagel $5,000 for “serving as the aggressor in an altercation” with Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin.

The incident in question occurred early in the second period between the teams on Sunday night. Hagel decided that he was going to target the Sabres captain and grabbed the Swedish defenseman. After it became clear that Dahlin had no intentions of fighting, Hagel decided he would express his frustrations by punching Dahlin multiple times in the back of the head before taking him down to the ice.It led to a full-fledged donnybrook, and not the first of the game either. Even Sabres goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen came out of his net to come to his teammate’s aid. The only penalty handed out in the skirmish was a double-minor for roughing against Hagel.
