BOSTON — Alexander Burmistrov might have earned himself a call from the league office in the very first period of the season.
The Winnipeg Jets center was penalized Thursday after throwing an elbow into the face of Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron.

Bergeron, who has dealt with concussion issues in the past, immediately went after Burmistrov, hitting him with a cross-check and igniting a multiplayer scuffle near the Boston blue line.
