The struggle from the lower floors of the Metropolitan Division has long spilled from side to side. And since both opponents had clashed the day before at New York’s UBS Arena, there was no shortage of exaggerated moments.
Two tough guys got into a fight. However, the 25-year-old striker MacEwen did not catch much on the Slovak veteran in the colors of the Islanders.
Forty-four-year-old Chara sent him several precisely aimed right-handers on his way, and during the latter the Canadian’s knees broke.
In the end, Chára and his teammates celebrated winning in terms of purely sporting competition. In the end, the Islanders drew two points on their side thanks to Oliver Wahlstrom, who managed to succeed as the only one in a nine-round penalty shootout. Philadelphia recorded its ninth loss in a row.
