In a heated Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Tom Wilson of the Washington Capitals and Josh Anderson of the Montreal Canadiens were both fined $5,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct following a fight that spilled onto the Capitals' bench. The altercation occurred after the second period as tensions flared between the two teams. Both players received 10-minute misconducts and additional minor penalties for roughing. Despite Washington tying the game early in the third period, Montreal dominated the latter part of the period, scoring three unanswered goals, ultimately winning 6-3 and narrowing the Capitals' series lead to 2-1.

The incident highlights the escalating emotions in the postseason, with physical play becoming more prominent as teams battle for supremacy. Game 4 is set for Sunday evening, where both teams will look to assert their dominance.
