The incident occurred at 19:17 of the third period. Lomberg was assessed a minor penalty for instigating, a major for fighting and a game misconduct under Rule 46.12 (Instigator in Final Five Minutes of Regulation Time [or Anytime in Overtime]) and will serve the automatic one-game suspension in addition to the one-game sanction outlined above.
