Rangers' Chris Kreider Uses Stars' Cody Eakin's Own Helmet Against Him in Fight

Hockey fights are inevitable. A little scuffle here, gloves coming off over there; it's a part of the sport. But using someone else's helmet against them? That just doesn't seem fair.

During the second period of Tuesday night's game against the New York Rangers, Dallas Stars center Cody Eakin (who was suspended for his actions in the teams' previous meeting) squared off with Rangers forward Chris Kreider.

It was during that fight that Eakin found himself getting hit with his own helmet...because things happen.

That didn't sit well with the league office:

Fortunately for Eakin, Kreider didn't pull a Happy Gilmore:
