The moment captured on video showed the fan’s third time provoking Weaver,” The Athletic reported. 

The GM in his fourth season with Detroit, declined to comment Sunday, according to ESPN.

“The guy that was in the incident, with the Red Wings stuff on, came over and was pointing at the scoreboard earlier in the game,” Calloway said in a telephone interview Sunday. “Troy Weaver just shrugged his shoulders and said, ‘OK,’ and the guy went back to his seat.
