After the game, Marc-Andre Fleury revealed that Binnington had hit one of his teammates "in the nutsack" and threw another one at their player, which triggered his reaction. Fleury stated that he was not surprised by Binnington's behavior, having seen him do a few things in his career.
Players are now beginning to hold Binnington responsible for his actions, and it is likely that he may face supplementary discipline for intentionally striking another player in a sensitive area. The League has announced that Binnington will have a hearing regarding the incident.
