Really not getting any favours from the islanders tonight.
Bruins are also fighting the Islanders for second wild card - at least it isn't a 3 point game in Toronto.
Really not getting any favours from the islanders tonight.
Vermette of the Ducks just slashed a linesman for no reason.
Vermette of the Ducks just slashed a linesman for no reason.
The incident occurred following a faceoff at the 12:27 mark of the third period. After losing the draw, Vermette apparently became upset with the way linesman Shandor Alphonso dropped the puck and extended his stick to make contact with Alphonso's back.
Vermette was issued a game misconduct for abuse of an official. It's likely he'll face a suspension from the NHL, depending on how the league rules.
If officials file the play under"physical abuse of official," Vermette could receive an automatic ban of three, 10 or 20 games based on the category of severity that's assigned — I, II or III. Category Icarries the harshest suspension of at least 20 games.

Wow, thought hope was lost on the Panthers dropping points tonight. But they're going to OT.
Shame Bruins legend Martin Jones allowed 5 goals on 18 shots (he had two saves afterwards for 5 in 20 total).
