- Bruins heavyweight, ex-Boston defenseman square off for very short fight
BOSTON — As Jeremy Lauzon skated slowly toward Mark Kastelic , the Bruins forward bent over, stretching to ready himself for the scrap.
That move took longer than the fight itself.
Kastelic had just finished a heavy check in the corner on Vegas defenseman Shea Theodore , who appeared to be shaken up. Lauzon stepped forward to avenge his teammate.

Lauzon spent the first four years of his professional career with the Bruins , before Seattle claimed him in the expansion draft. He met Kastelic at center ice.
Neither player landed a punch. Kastelic lost his balance taking a swing and Lauzon pushed him to the ice. Adhering to a tough guy code, Lauzon didn’t hit him while he was down and the linesmen jumped in.
Despite the lack of action both players got 5-minute majors with 2:34 left in the first.
