With about seven minutes remaining and the Predators leading by three goals, Jarnkrok received a minor penalty for boarding Haley, which incited a 10-man scrum. Haley sought out Jarnkrok and landed a left-handed jab to his face.

Officials handed Haley a match penalty for attempting to injure Jarnkrok and immediately ejected him. Jarnkrok didn't return.

"He kind of hit me in the helmet and got cut by the visor," Jarnkrok said. "I feel OK."

"It's an ugly play," Predators coach Peter Laviolette said. "This isn't the wild, wild west. I mean, Calle hit him. We took a penalty. If we start doing that, we're in trouble, so hopefully it gets looked at."

"When you run someone from behind in a game like that, you probably deserve to get a punch in the mouth," Sharks coach Pete DeBoer told reporters.
