The New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers didn't waste any time getting the action going during Tuesday night's NHL game at MSG, as they couldn't wait to start fighting. After the referee dropped the puck, two players on both teams dropped the gloves, and play was stopped two seconds into the game.
On one side of the ice, Devils forward Cam Janssen took on Rangers forward Michael Rupp, while on the other side, Devils forward Eric Boulton took on Rangers forward Brandon Prust.
The fight between Janssen and Rupp lasted about a minute before Rupp hurt his hand, although he did return to the game. The fight between Boulton and Prust lasted about a minute and a half before the referees separated the players.
Janssen, Rupp, Boulton and Prust all received 5 minute major penalties for fighting.
The Devils won the game 1-0.
