(CNN) There were six fights in the opening period of the New York Rangers' clash with the Washington Capitals game on Wednesday night as a controversy between the two sides rumbled on. The game between the Capitals and the Rangers starts with a brawl one second into play. During the game, Wilson was assessed two minor penalties for roughing and a 10-minute misconduct for the incident. The Washington Capitals declined to respond to the Rangers statement and said they will let the NHL handle the situation. It is terribly unfair to question George Parros' professionalism and dedication to his role and the Department of Player Safety."
