The two players got into a scuffle when Backes decided he was acting like a bull and went straight at Ladd's head with his own...

Ladd was also penalized on the play, and served two minutes in the box for roughing, but Backes got the worst, since he did the worst.

The Bruins still managed to win the game 3-1 over the Isles.
