During Saturday night's NHL action between the Nashville Predators and Buffalo Sabres, Predators right winger Jordin Tootoo lost the puck as he was skating towards Sabres goalie Ryan Miller. However, that didn't stop Tootoo from crashing straight into Miller, starting a brawl between the teams.
It happened in the second period of Saturday night's game in Buffalo. As Miller went down to his knees to block the potential shot, Tootoo actually jumped into Miller. Miller briefly grabbed Tootoo in the air, then dropped him on the ice and started swinging at Tootoo, starting a brawl between the teams.
Tootoo was ejected from the game as he received 5 minutes for charging and a 10 minute game misconduct penalty. Tootoo may be looking at a suspension from the NHL for this one, as it seemed like an unnecessary attempt to take a shot at Miller.
UPDATE: Tootoo was suspended for 2 games for the charge.
