On Wednesday, the New York Rangers and Tampa Bay Lightning united for a game full of violent impacts, nasty battles, and possibly some expensive injuries. The Rangers won 6-3 and are riding a hot run into the postseason. The greatest winners, however, may be those who fled unharmed or with minor injuries.
Rangers’ Trouba, Lightning’s Cirelli among those possibly injured
The New York Rangers and Tampa Bay Lightning met on Wednesday for a game full of brutal collisions, nasty fights, and potentially costly injuries. The Rangers triumphed 6-3 and are on a roll heading into the playoffs. Those who escaped unharmed or with minor injuries may be the biggest victors.
Anthony Cirelli, Tampa's outstanding two-way forward, may have also been injured in this one. He was most likely injured during a chaotic fracas halfway through the second period, which was sparked in part by Alex Killorn's late swipe at Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin. As you can see, there were a lot of people engaged, including an irate Ryan Lindgren. Cirelli remained on the ice for the full third session.
Multiple fights between Rangers and Lightning
Whatever your feelings are about Perry's hit on Trouba, he wound up sparring with Vincent Trocheck, who isn't exactly a renowned pugilist, late in the second period.
A few minutes later, things got heated after what appeared to be a clean check by Rangers defender Braden Schneider. Tampa Bay forward Ross Colton quickly lowered the gloves after Schneider destroyed Nick Paul.
All of that commotion made a more normal early heavyweight fight between Ben Harpur and Patrick Maroon feel a little flat.
In total, the Rangers and Lightning teamed for 70 penalty minutes in New York's victory. This brawl followed a Rangers win over the Washington Capitals on Sunday, which turned hostile in its own way, with even Jimmy Vesey getting into it.
If heavy hockey becomes essential despite a rise in goals, it appears that both the Rangers and the Lightning are knuckling down. Granted, if all of this aggression results in the loss of someone like Cirelli or Trouba, it may be more difficult to explain.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
