Sunday night's game between Columbus and Florida had no shortage of action!

Footage of the Sunday's Melee in Columbus

In Sunday afternoon's Eastern Conference matchup between the Panthers and Blue Jackets was a rough one. Former top-5 draft pick Erik Gudbranson was the main instigator, you can see the play below.
After Cousins laid a dirty hit on Gudbranson and was not assessed a match penalty. Gudbranson was clearly very upset with the play and viciously retaliated once he got up.

Gudbranson's Performance This Season

Through 26 games this season, Gudbranson has looked solid with 2 goals and 7 assists on a bad Columbus Blue Jackets squad.
It's not clear whether any suspensions will follow from this play, more details to come.
