The New York Rangers punish the offending fan after the disgusting sucker punch

"Last night, an assault occurred on a Lightning fan after the game - followed by a second assault on an individual who bravely responded.

First, we assure you that the victims received the appropriate care and support from our team. Also, we are cooperating fully with the authorities, as this is a criminal matter. Please also note that the assailant will be banned for life from Madison Square Garden, for any event, for the rest of his life.

Any guest, regardless of the team they support, should feel safe at the Garden. This is, and always will be, our policy."
