DETROIT -- Little Caesars Arena will be adorned with purple on Thursday night, as the Detroit Red Wings are set to host the New York Islanders for the Hockey Fights Cancer Game, presented by Comerica.

Just after the final buzzer sounded at the end of regulation, Red Wings forward Mason Appleton fired a puck into the Rangers’ empty net. That, of course, is a sign of disrespect among hockey players, and it didn’t go unnoticed by New York’s bench.
