Despite a 5-1 loss and a less-than-impressive showing against the Carolina Hurricanes, the Washington Capitals weren't going to leave Raleigh quietly.

In the final 7:02 minutes of regulation, the Capitals and Hurricanes combined for a whopping 114 penalty minutes, as eight different players received misconducts.

It all started when Logan Stankoven shoved Tom Wilson after the whistle, leading to an all-out scrum and Wilson dropping the gloves and going after Stankoven. Both players were given roughing penalties, and Wilson was given an extra two minutes while both of their nights ended early.

Then, just 1:28 minutes later, Nic Dowd and Mark Jankowski got into it, jawing back and forth as they received matching roughing penalties and misconducts. Jankowski received an extra two minutes for cross-checking. All the while, Brandon Duhaime and Tyson Jost dropped the gloves, and they both received fighting majors before their nights also ended early.

It took just 12 seconds for another fight to break out, as Connor McMichael then went toe-to-toe with Jalen Chatfield. Chatfield swung McMichael around and threw him to the ground, but only received a fighting major. McMichael received a fighting major and an extra roughing minor. Both were given misconducts.

Washington ultimately gave up eight power-play opportunities, with Carolina converting on three of them. D.C. went 1-for-4 on the night.
