Tempers shortened in the first period, as San Jose Sharks forward Micheal Haley dropped the gloves with Anaheim Ducks forward Chris Stewart in a marathon scrap.
Haley, listed at 5'10" tall and 205 pounds, gives up about four inches and 26 pounds to Stewart.
There were no goals to speak of in the opening period, but not surprisingly it was a highly physical contest between the two Pacific Division rivals.
