Chris Kreider may be in some hot water of his own after taking Cody Eakin to task for his transgression.
In the first meeting between the New York Rangers and Dallas Stars since Eakin ran Henrik Lundqvist and earned a subsequent suspension, Kreider challenged Eakin to a fight, and appeared to use his opponent's helmet as a weapon in the skirmish.

Both players were assessed fighting majors, but the NHL's Department of Player Safety might want to take a closer look at the helmet incident.
