As teams are gearing up for the upcoming 2022-23 season, the intensity shot up sharply in the latter half of the preseason. Montreal and Ottawa have had more than one spirited bout, and the Jets and Flames got into a few times last night also.

This may or may not have been in bad taste. Some lines are simply better uncrossed, but Calgary Flames' defenseman Rasmus Andersson has not time for such restraint. During Calgary's preseason game against the Winnipeg Jets, Andersson gave it to Winnipeg's Blake Wheeler.
According to TSN's Salim Nadim Valji, Andersson was giving it to Wheeler over losing his captaincy. Possibly over the line, but the ruthlessness has to be respected.
