Saw this one coming. I understand these are the rules, but he’s not jumping Karlsson or a smaller guy here….he’s engaging in a fight with a willing (6 foot 6) opponent. Should be 5 a piece IMO.
Edmonton’s Darnell Nurse has been automatically suspended for one game and Coach Jay Woodcroft has been fined $10,000 under rule 46.21, Instigating in Final Five Minutes of Regulation.

I definitely do not agree with the suspension, they were testing each other all game, Hague threw first, only "instigator" on Nurse was coming into the scrum. It definitely was a mutual fight that boiled over finally.
@lukegazdic
The mistake here was the ref making the call in the first place… it put the league in a tough position being painted in a corner by their own rules that frankly never were intended for this type of play
