In a heated confrontation during Game 3 of the Eastern Conference playoffs, Tom Wilson of the Washington Capitals and Josh Anderson of the Montreal Canadiens each received a $5,000 fine for unsportsmanlike conduct, the maximum penalty under NHL rules. The incident occurred as they engaged in a scrum that spilled into the Canadiens' bench at the end of the second period. Each player was assessed two-minute penalties for roughing along with ten-minute misconducts. Despite the skirmish, the Canadiens went on to secure a 6-3 victory, now trailing 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.
