Wild Scene as Line Brawl Breaks Out During Panthers/Lightning Game

The Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers don't like each other and during their preseason game of all places, it showed. It was a parade to the penalty box which included a goalie getting body checked and a line brawl breaking out.

Sam Bennett of the Panthers got it all started when he checked Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy behind the net and for obvious reasons the Lightning took exception to it. That was just the beginning as the craziness continued. Panthers forward Noel Acciari ended up injuring his shoulder pretty bad in one of the scrums.

Somebody tell these guys it's only preseason.....
