Detroit Red Wings defenseman Ben Chiarot was ejected from Thursday's game against the New York Islanders after engaging in a scrum after a penalty in the third period
I can't imagine any bigger mistake than making sure you give the other team another advantage on the ice.
Especially after the New York Islanders finally incurred a penalty against the Red Wings, but he was determined to do so.
The veteran defenseman was kicked out of the game with 11 minutes left Thursday, receiving a game misconduct for engaging in a tilt with Scott Mayfield.
Chiarot should've known where his responsibilities lie, and it wasn't needlessly fighting.
"Appleton and Chiarot battling down low in the Isles' zone with 11 left, Chiarot's shot blocked and there's FINALLY a penalty to the Isles, but not before a scrum ensues...
And Chiarot punches Pageau and there's a REAL SCRUM.
Chiarot is held back by the linesmen."

Detroit Red Wings' Ben Chiarot: Worth Keeping Around?
The veteran defenseman left with a game misconduct, and they'd falter to the Patrick Roy-led Islanders.
The team lost 5-0.
Ben Chiarot, who's been a great two-way blueliner in the past, has seen better days.
He ended the night with a -2, 1 shot on goal, 3 penalties, 16 penalty minutes, 1 hit, and 15:49 time on ice.
Chiarot signed a four-year, $19 million total contract with the Red Wings in 2022-23.
The game against the Islanders was plagued with suspension-worthy plays that upset Red Wings fans, but there was no justice to be found anywhere.
