It only took two seconds into the first period for Madison Square Garden to become a host to fight night. Even Rangers coach Pete Laviolette and Devils interim head coach Travis Green were captured chirping at one another during the melee.

He also adds some size to the line-up, helping the Blueshirts with some much needed physicality, especially in the forecheck (via NY Post):
