The game between the New York Rangers and Tampa Bay Lightning took a wild turn on Wednesday night in the Big Apple. Both teams are aiming to contend for the Stanley Cup, and if last night's game is any indication of what's in store for us during the playoffs, count me in.

The NHL Department of Player Safety stepped in to issue some punishment to the Lightning's Alex Killorn following his actions towards Rangers' goaltender Igor Shesterkin, who had already covered the puck. This led to complete chaos on the ice.

As a result, the NHL Department of Player Safety imposed a $5,000 fine on Alex Killorn for slashing Igor Shesterkin, the maximum amount allowed under the CBA.

That wasn't all; later in the game, Rangers defenseman Adam Fox speared Lightning forward Corey Perry, leading to more chaos.

This prompted the NHL Department of Player Safety to issue Fox a $5,000 fine for spearing, which is also the maximum allowed under the CBA.

If last night's game is any indication of what a seven-game series between these two teams would look like, we're in for a treat, as this game felt like old-school playoff hockey!
