Watch: Confusion ensues after Subban reacts to possible bite from Bellemare

Things got a little out of hand between the Nashville Predators and Vegas Golden Knights towards the end of the second period on Wednesday night.

In a scrum in front of the Predators' goal, blue-liner P.K. Subban wrapped his hand around the face of Pierre-Edouard Bellemare and proceeded to react hysterically as if he was bitten by the Vegas forward.

While Subban pleaded his case to the officiating crew, he had to avoid an oncoming Ryan Reaves. He eventually gestured to the Golden Knights' bench that his finger had been chomped on.

Both Subban and Reaves were assessed unsportsmanlike conduct penalties while Subban was given an extra two-minute minor for roughing.
