Lightning journal: A rare fight to this finish

TAMPA — After Alex Ovechkin's goal 62 seconds into Game 7 of the Eastern Conference final Wednesday, the next highlight was an extended fight between Lightning D Braydon Coburn and Capitals RW Tom Wilson, with a two-minute break for them to spend time in the penalty box.

The two drew unsportsmanlike conduct penalties after a skirmish around the Lightning net as G Andrei Vasilevskiy made a sprawling save with about seven minutes left in the first. After the 4-on-4 hockey ended, both came out of the penalty box and immediately dropped the gloves to fight again, a lengthy brawl that ended their period early.
