The Florida Panthers have been dominating the Boston Bruins, and now one of their forwards is facing consequences following an unintentional cut.
The Boston Bruins decided to play their season opener against the Florida Panthers despite the possibility of having to postpone it because of Hurricane Milton, and things haven’t gone well for them so far. The Boston Bruins have not been the same since Mark Kaselic and AJ Greer lost their gloves early in the game.
They are behind 6-2 late in the game, and this incident involving former Anaheim Ducks forward Max Jones will provide challenges for them after the game.
The Boston Bruins were starting to lose patience with the Panthers, and after tying up with Evan Rodrigues, Jones made an effort to slash the seasoned forward. Sadly, that is not how it happened; Jones inadvertently cut the referee’s hands. This is something that the NHL’s Department of Player Safety should investigate if they wish to maintain consistency.
With his team behind 6-2 at the end of the game, Jones was sent to the box for roughing. The defending Stanley Cup Champions were clearly making a statement because they dominated the whole game. It’s unknown what kind of punishment Jones will receive for his incidental but still unavoidable actions, but it’s safe to assume that he will receive a fine or possibly even a suspension.
