Nylander Flips Puck at Kucherov After a Dirty Hit on Holl

Ever since last year's 7-game first round series between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Toronto Maple Leafs, matchups between the teams have been must watch television. Tonight's game was no different.

In a tight 2-1 hockey game late in the second period, superstars Nikita Kucherov and William Nylander came together after a penalty call. Kucherov was called for Interference for a hit from behind on Justin Holl. As Kucherov made his way to the penalty box, Nylander flipped the puck (and nearly hit) Kucherov in the face.

Obviously, Kucherov (and company) took exception to this and a scrum ensued. At the end of the altercation, Kucherov went to the box for his original penalty. Both Erik Cernak and Michael Bunting received penalties during the scrum following Nylander's antics.
