PK Subban and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare received penalties during Wednesday night’s Vegas Golden Knights-Nashville Predators game for a bizarre incident that may have included a bite.
With just under a minute remaining in the second period, Subban and Bellemare got tangled up in front of the Nashville net. Subban came out shaking his hand as if his finger had just been bitten.

Here's what started the skirmish. Bellemare and Subban get together and it appears Bellemare somehow injured Subban's finger. pic.twitter.com/gtcmZWdwqa

Bellemare seemed to demonstrate to a teammate what had happened, and he showed that he was getting fish-hooked, which may have led to him biting in response.
The plot thickens. Did Bellemare bite, or did Subban give him the old fish hook? Bellemare appears to think it was the latter. pic.twitter.com/dRz19qlwgv

Subban received a pair of two-minute penalties, one for roughing and the other an unsportsmanlike.
