Brayden Schenn's take on fighting with Adam Lowry
Schenn reflected on his altercation with Lowry during the second-period interval.
"I asked him to fight — I didn't even know he fought last game... I just didn't like our start and obviously didn't like the previous game, so trying to bring some emotion and energy to the team," Schenn said.
