(FOX NEWS) — Altercations can happen during an NHL game, but referees tend to assess penalties in an effort to discourage players from crossing the line.
The players involved in a given scrum are usually the only ones who face punishment, but Monday’s game between the Ottawa Senators and Florida Panthers resulted in more wide-ranging penalties. Things were already chippy throughout the majority of the game, but a full-fledged fight broke out during the third period.

Shortly after the brawl ended, every skater who was on the ice at the time was thrown out of the game. The Panthers held a commanding 4-0 lead in the third period when Senators player Brady Tkachuk entered the game and had a quick breakaway.
