Rangers and Devils stars fight just TWO seconds into game at MSG as mass brawl breaks out straight after the puck drop... with eight players ejected after 5v5 scrap at MSG

A mass brawl between New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils players broke out just two seconds into their game at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night. 

Straight after the puck drop in New York, boisterous Rangers rookie Matt Rempe and Devils defenseman Kurtis MacDermid dropped their gloves and began exchanging fists.

Six other players then got involved in the five-on-five scrap, including Rangers trio Barclay Goodrow, K’Andre Miller and Jacob Trouba and New Jersey's Kevin Bahl, John Marino and Chris Tierney.

All eight were immediately ejected from the game on misconduct penalties, marking a wild start to proceedings at MSG.
