Colorado Avalanche forward Matt Calvert survived a marauding Detroit Red Wings bench. No, seriously, he almost had to fight the whole bench — and in the end, he was sucker punched from a player on the bench.
It all started with a nifty play by the Avs forward. The attacking Wings were trying to set up a one-timer. Calvert dove to poke check the puck then started to chase it down. Detroit defenseman Mike Greene checked him in front of the Wings net.
That’s when chaos ensues. Calvert spins around, and his stick ends up over the wall of the Wings bench.
