The Calgary Flames and New Jersey Devils met in an intense matchup that saw tensions boil over in a fight between Ryan Lomberg of the Flames and Nathan Bastian of the Devils.
Late in the first period, Lomberg checked Devils forward Paul Cotter hard into the boards. This drew the ire of Bastian, who came to his teammate’s defense and challenged Lomberg to a fight.
Watch the video here:
The two dropped the gloves and exchanged punches, with Lomberg quickly taking control. He unleashed a flurry of powerful left punches directly at Bastian’s head while keeping him pinned against the boards. Bastian could do little to defend himself as Lomberg relentlessly threw left after left, connecting solidly with his face.
The linesmen eventually stepped in to separate them, but not before Lomberg had clearly gotten the better of Bastian in the one-sided tilt. Bastian received an instigator penalty.
It was a dominant show from Lomberg, who used his left hand to great effect as he battered Bastian.
