Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen scored his first career goal against the Florida Panthers last night. When his teammate Cody McCormick went to retrieve the puck, Panthers defenseman Erik Gudbranson attacked him and the two ended up fighting. Normally it’s understood that the other team can retrieve the puck for a milestone goal or point for a player, but apparently Gudbranson was still upset over the battle they had in front of the net.
