Saints started quickly and went ahead in the fifth minute after a Patrick Ah van knock-on gave them an extra six, deep in Widnes territory. They made it count as Greenwood forced his way over, despite the best efforts of Joe Mellor and Setaimata Sa to hold him up, and Luke Walsh added the extras.The Vikings hit back in the 13th minute, Hanbury taking advantage of some weak St Helens defending to dive over in the corner, before kicking the conversion to level the scores.

The Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames engaged in a wild first-period brawl Saturday night which later carried over to Canucks coach John Tortorella being involved in an altercation in the hallway outside of the Flames dressing room. The opening minutes of the NHL game, which the Canucks won 3-2 in a shootout, was like a scene from the ................... Slapshot.

I dont feel great about it at all." Flames coach Bob Hartley was left shaking his head over Tortorella charging his teams dressing room. "I just dont understand," he said. "I got out of there. I dont need to get suspended or fined. "There is nothing to be settled there. I just dont understand what was going on." Hartley also defended his starting lineup.
