A New York Rangers fan is facing assault and other charges after he allegedly sucker punched a Tampa Bay Lightning fan following the home team's Game 5 loss at Madison Square Garden Thursday night.
The 26-year-old victim fell to the ground and lost consciousness, as fans exiting the stadium stopped to help.
The Lightning fan suffered cuts and bruises, but both he and the good Samaritan refused medical attention at the scene. Kaplan says just before the punch, there was name-calling, then beer throwing -- and there was almost no security in sight.
