New Jersey Devils' David Clarkson was trying to 'spark the team' in tussle with New York Rangers' Sean Avery
Clarkson tried to light a fire by engaging Sean Avery in a fight at 10:12 of the third period. Pulling on Avery's sweater, Clarkson dragged the Rangers' agitator to the ice twice and received a double minor for roughing, as well a 10-minute misconduct penalty. Avery got a roughing minor.
"I was trying to spark the team," Clarkson explained. "He had his one hand cocked back in a fist. Say he throws a punch and hits me. I'm the guy that loses. I was trying to spark the team and ended up getting kicked out."Add your comment
