Dahlin, 25, appeared to start the skirmish with a shove in the back of the Canadian skater.<\/p>\n

Marchand, 37, then saw red and went for the Swede with a brawl<\/a>, seeing them wrestle on the ice.<\/p>\n

The Panthers\u2019 left winger was eventually sent to the sin bin by the referee but took a trophy of the fight with him.<\/p>\n

He was seen skating off the ice holding the helmet of Dahlin and started ripping it apart as he sat down in the penalty box.<\/p>\n

After tearing the straps off he then angrily threw it back onto the ice for his rival to collect.<\/p>\n

Although the helmet was not in a usable state and Dahlin had to be lent one by teammate Peyton Krebs.<\/p>\n

As a result, he was forced to sit in the box for two minutes for interference and two minutes for roughing.<\/p>\n

Fans were stunned by the moment and believed that he should have had a harsher punishment as they reacted on social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One posted: \u201cAt a minimum, this should have merited an additional two minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct. That the refs continue to let him slide should be all you need to know.\u201d<\/p>\n

A second wrote: \u201cHow he only gets four minutes for all of this is insane.\u201d<\/p>\n

A third commented: \u201cShould have got five minutes for getting his panties in a knot.\u201d<\/p>\n

A fourth said: \u201cMarchand should get one game suspension.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another added: \u201cHe should be fined for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, many did get their wish as Marchand has since been fined by the NHL.<\/p>\n

Dahlin held no hard feelings after the match when he was interviewed.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cHe\u2019s a competitor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve probably done something like that in the past, too. Stuff happens out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dahlin could leave the game with his head held high as the Sabres finished the victors.<\/p>\n
