New York Rangers coach David Quinn said the NHL has “lines that can’t be crossed” in reference to altercations involving Washington Capitals right wing Tom Wilson and Rangers wingers Artemi Panarin and Pavel Buchnevich in Monday’s 6-3 loss.

Wilson initially swung at Buchnevich while the Rangers right wing was face-down on the ice. That drew the ire of Panarin, who got into a scuffle with Wilson that involved Wilson taking a helmet-less Panarin down to the ice twice.

Panarin exited with a lower-body injury, and Quinn told reporters the 29-year-old Russian “could’ve got seriously, seriously hurt.”
