It was a night of firsts in Washington, D.C. when the Penguins took on the Capitals.
It was the first win for the Pens in nearly three weeks, snapping a 7-game losing streak, but it was apparently also the first time Bryan Rust got a major penalty for fighting in his professional hockey career.
Per @hockeyfights, this was Rust's first fighting major at any level of professional hockey. https://t.co/LQSxyiKyKF

Bryan Rust and Capitals defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk got into it near the midway point of the third period.
