Hagel's Haymaker Ignites Sabres-Lightning Brawl in Atlantic Division Showdown

The Buffalo Sabres and Tampa Bay Lightning, locked in a tight race for first place in the Atlantic Division, turned their Sunday matchup into a penalty-filled war that saw Brandon Hagel and Rasmus Dahlin exchange blows in a rare fight for the Sabres captain. The game exploded early with a hit from behind that sparked the first of several scraps, and by the end of the second period, the teams had combined for 98 penalty minutes of pure chaos.
