LOS ANGELES -- When Los Angeles goalie Darcy Kuemper came out to center ice ready to fight his Boston Bruins counterpart Jeremy Swayman on Sunday night, Kings coach Jim Hiller was only thinking about all the bad things that could have happened.
Fortunately for Hiller, officials prevented Kuemper and Swayman from actually coming to blows late in the second period of the Kings' 7-2 win over the Bruins.
"I mean, nobody wants to see that," Hiller said before catching himself. "Well, I shouldn't say that. Neither teams' coaches want to see that because those are some pretty important players you don't want busting up hands or anything like that.
