With the game tied at 4 late in the 3rd, Brad Marchand made a questionable decision. The two teams starter to push and shove after the whistle Marchand paired off with Oliver Bjorkstrand. As the two exchanged words Marchand slid his leg behind Bjorkstrand's tripping him.
The incident occurred with less than 2 minutes left in the 3rd, as Kyle Okposo attempted to bring the puck into the Lightning zone. Erik Cernak lines Okposo up for what could be a legal hit, until Cernak's elbow raises slightly and strike Okposo, who has a history of head injuries, directly in the face.
With Marchand receiving a $5,000 fine and Erik Cernak receiving a 2 game suspension, the NHL ends their streak of 61 days without a suspension.
