<p>Perhaps it’s not just Saturday nights that are alright for fighting. </p>



<p>The Florida Panthers and Ottawa Senators combined for 167 penalty minutes in the Panthers’ 5-0 win in Ottawa on Monday night. </p>



<p>The physical play got extra feisty at the very end of the second period, with both Brady and Matthew Tkachuk on the ice in a scrum between the two teams, resulting in Matthew and Senators’ defenseman Travis Hamonic starting the third period in the penalty box for roughing minors.</p>



<p>Five minutes into the third period, Senators’ forward Zack MacEwen went after the Panthers’ Tkachuk brother when he took a shot at Hamonic. MacEwen was awarded a match penalty (served by Dominik Kubalik) and was ejected from the game.</p>

<p>Things got even more chippy midway through the third when Matthew squared up with Senators’ defenseman Jake Sanderson in front of the Panthers net. It was a quick scrap, but both landed a few shots. </p>

<p>Just two minutes later, after serving a two-minute minor for cross-checking, Brady came in on a breakaway and got a shot off before bumping into Panthers’ goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky. All five Panthers responded, which led to the other four Senators responding, which led to all hell breaking loose.</p>

<p>The ice was littered with gloves and sticks before emotions settled. With only 7:22 left in the game and the score being 4-0, referees Garrett Rank and Mitch Dunning decided to award all 10 skaters on the ice — Brady, Hamonic, Erik Brannstrom, Rourke Chartier, Drake Batherson, Dmitry Kulikov, Ryan Lomberg, Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Kevin Stenlund and Jonah Gadjovich — with 10-minute misconducts. </p><div class="injected-ad" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="1" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="191"></div>

<p>Panthers' forward Sam Bennett and Senators' forward Matthieu Joseph earned a pair of misconducts for themselves a few minutes later, bringing the total number of misconducts awarded to 13. </p>



<p>The 167 penalty minutes awarded were the most for a single game in 2023-24. The two teams also had the most penalty minutes in a single game in 2022-23, when they combined for 166 penalty minutes on April 6, 2023. The Panthers won that game 7-2. </p>
