The Capitals and Rangers had six fights and a line brawl to start the game. The teams had 100 PIMs combined in the first period.
In the hours leading up to Wednesday’s rematch between the Capitals and Rangers, the Rangers organization called Tom Wilson’s role in a line brawl on Monday “a horrific act of violence.” Rangers players said Wilson had no respect for the game or its players. And the team said the Department of Player Safety’s George Parros should be fired after choosing to fine, not suspend the Capitals forward. The Rangers essentially painted themselves into a corner, where there had to be retribution in Wednesday’s game.
And retribution there was.
The Rangers and Capitals opened the game with a line brawl. All six forwards on the ice fought. Before the game was five minutes old, the teams dropped the mitts six different times.

Carl Hagelin scores for real this time after having goal overturned the game before
Carl Hagelin finally caught a break.
Coming into Thursday’s game against the New York Rangers, Hagelin had fired 16 shots on net — sixth-most on the Capitals — and scored exactly zero times. To put this in proper perspective, 17 different players on the Capitals have scored at least one goal this season — most in the NHL. Hagelin was the only Capitals player who had played every game this season and not put the biscuit in the basket.
That is until now!

Henrik Lundqvist was one of the Capitals’ prized signings over the offseason, but weeks later, Hank had sad news to share. On Thursday, the future Hall of Famer announced he would be unable to play next season due to a heart condition.
“Today is a pretty tough and emotional day for me,” Lundqvist said. “For several weeks now, I’ve been undergoing several different tests related to a heart condition and after lots of discussions with doctors around the country and finally receiving the last results this week, I, unfortunately, won’t be unable to join the team this year and [will] continue the process to fix these issues.”
Two Capitals’ players particularly shaken by the news were Nicklas Backstrom and Carl Hagelin, who both were looking forward to going into battle with Hank next year.
