Buffalo's Alex Tuch and Detroit captain Michael Rasmussen were the first to drop the gloves in the fight-filled third period of the Red Wings' 7-3 victory Wednesday night. They weren't even among the 11 players assessed 10-minute misconduct penalties in the final frame.

Patrick Kane had two power-play goals and three assists against his hometown team in a 7-3 win against the Sabres.

Both teams went on to complete the 60 minutes of play with Wings and Sabres combining for 150 penalty minutes, with 136 of them coming in the third period alone. When all was said and done, Detroit secured a 7-3 win over Buffalo to snap a six-game losing streak, but the chaos on the ice stole the spotlight.
