Fights Erupt in Bruins-Jets Blowout Game

The Boston Bruins faced a humiliating 8-1 defeat against the Winnipeg Jets, which escalated into chaos in the third period with three fights. The trouble began when Bruins forward Trent Frederic fought Jets rookie David Gustafsson, who had never fought in the NHL before and was injured in the bout. This sparked further fights between Bruins Mark Kastelic and Jets Logan Stanley, and later between Nikita Zadorov and Adam Lowry, leading to multiple game misconducts. Jets coach Scott Arniel expressed frustration over the Bruins' actions but appreciated his team's solidarity. Jets captain Lowry criticized Frederic's decision to fight Gustafsson, emphasizing it violated an unwritten rule, while Arniel noted the intensity of the game's atmosphere. Despite their fighting spirit, the Bruins remain in a challenging position with a record of 15-12-3 following the loss.
