Full-on brawl breaks out between the Sabres and the Capitals

With Washington's playoff hopes still very much alive, tensions were high during tonight's game. The Sabres saw this as an opportunity to play spoiler while the Capitals need every point they can get, especially with Pittsburgh playing well. As such, those tensions boiled over in the dying moments of the match when it was clear Buffalo had won the game.

Multiple star players were involved in the scrum for both teams, including Tage Thompson, Max Pacioretty, and the notorious Tom Wilson.

Sabres fans recognized the importance of the game, even if it was just a minor moral victory. Anything to make the fans happy when the team hasn't made the playoffs in over a decade.

The Capitals will now look to keep their season alive on Saturday when they host the Tampa bay Lightning.
