In the first period, Detroit Red Wings defenseman Ben Chiarot got pretty frustrated. Chiarot, upset with his team on a 7-game losing streak and trailing 1-0, went after Jordan Greenway of the Buffalo Sabres. Despite Greenway being bigger and laughing off Chiarot's attempts, Chiarot still wanted to fight. As he went to throw a punch, referee O'Quinn stepped in and got the worst of it.
