Cal Foote drops the mitts with Brendan Dillon in spirted bout (video)
It was feisty affair on Saturday afternoon in Nashville as the Predators hosted their division rivals, the Winnipeg Jets.
During the first period, Winnipeg Jets defenceman Brendan Dillon made a big, but clean hit Predators rookie Luke Evangelista. Predators defenceman Cal Foote comes to the defence of his teammate and drops the mitts with Dillon in what turned out to be a spirited bout.
There has been plenty of outcry over the last week about the officials not calling instigator penalties after a clean hit led to a fight, but on Saturday, they decided to do so.
Foote received a two-minute minor for instigating, a five-minute major for fighting and a ten-minute misconduct, while Dillon was given five-minutes for fighting.
