LATEST | Nikita Zadorov lays Sabres forward in open ice: High stick Carson Soucy for it
While there's not much bad blood between the Sabres and Canucks, Saturday's game in Buffalo became a physical affair.
Nikita Zadorov always looks to leave his mark on opposing players, and he gave Dylan Cozens a lesson on cutting through the middle.
Afterwards, Cozens clipped Carson Soucy with a high stick that went uncalled, leaving Soucy pleading with the refs and checking for blood.
After these two plays, tensions were high at the end of the first period, and eventually boiled over in the second when JT Miller and Erik Johnson dropped the gloves.
The Canucks snuck away with a 1-0 win thanks to a goal by Sam Lafferty.
