Ranger took on Martin in a fight late in the first period. It started rough for Ranger who had trouble connecting and Martin landed a flurry of blows. Ranger finally got steady and started connecting so Martin jockeyed for position and they both went down. Easily Martin's win.
Ruck got a shutout.
Brodeur showed some chemistry with Captain Castonguay and scored the Beast's only two goals.
