Panthers forward Brad Marchand wasn’t thrilled with Rasmus Dahlin’s check away from the puck — and his response didn’t end once the referees peeled the pair off the ice.

Midway through the second period of Saturday’s 30 Buffalo win, the Sabres defenseman floated near the blueline after making a pass before veering toward Marchand and delivering a check.

But Dahlin, who’d also attempted to check Marchand along the boards earlier in the sequence, ended up tumbling to the ice as Marchand jumped on him, delivering multiple punches before a cluster of players skated over to join the scuffle as play stopped.
