Penguins and Lightning throw down with three fights

On Sunday there were five fights, and three of those were in the Penguins-Lightning game. So I'll start off with that game. The first fight was between Ryan Malone and Cory Sarich. At center ice they fight and grapple for position. Sarich gets his right loose and throws two big rights that gets Malone off balance and they both soon go to the ice. I give the edge to Sarich in that fight. Watch their fight below. The second fight was between Maxime Talbot and Nick Tarnasky. They meet in the area between the benches and Talbot gives Tarnasky a good shoulder hit. Tarnasky doesn't like it because it looked a little high. They go at it and Tarnasky whales away on Talbot as Talbot can't keep his balance. Talbot goes down to the ice and Tarnasky keeps throwing punches until the linesmen get in there to separate them. Decision goes to Tarnasky in that fight. At the end of the Penguins-Lightning game, Maxime Talbot and Nick Tarnasky have another go but it was all wrestling as when the camera got there they were down on the ice, with Tarnasky on top trying to throw punches, but the linesmen came flying in to break them up quickly.


Ryan Malone vs Cory Sarich


In the Predators-Blue Jackets game, Jordin Tootoo and Adam Foote had a little dust-up. They did drop the gloves but it was mostly wrestling. Tootoo did manage to throw a good looking uppercut but I don't know if it landed. After the fight in the penalty box Foote looked to have a cut on his forehead, which could have been caused from his helmet.
