Ben Chiarot of the Detroit Red Wings found himself in a tough spot during the first period, visibly frustrated by the unfolding events.
In a showdown against the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday, Chiarot narrowly avoided a penalty as he aggressively targeted Sabres forward Jordan Greenway. It was only thanks to linesman Ben O'Quinn's intervention that Chiarot's actions didn't escalate further.Feeling the pressure of his team's seven-game losing streak and trailing 1-0, Chiarot had reached his boiling point early in the game. He decided to take matters into his own hands after a break in play, directing his frustration towards Greenway. Despite Greenway's dismissive response to Chiarot's attempts to provoke him, the Red Wings player was ready to engage in a physical altercation.
Chiarot threw a punch at Greenway, catching him off guard, but O'Quinn swiftly intervened, preventing any harm from being done.
Remarkably, no penalties were issued following the incident.
