The Incident with Ducks' Forward Ross Johnson

The confrontation was started by a sequence involving Ducks forward Ross Johnson, whose actions led to a scuffle near Binnington's goal. Reacting to what he saw as aggression from Johnson, including a high stick, Binnington did not hesitate to enter the fight.



Using his glove and blocker, he aimed punches in defense of a fellow team member, displaying a level of fire uncommon among goalies.
