Through Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Minnesota Wild, the Vegas Golden Knights had their fair share of scrums, as frustrations began to mount. The biggest incident to come out of the shutout game would be Matt Dumba's slash on Vegas forward Ryan Reaves.
The two were going at it through the night. Following a big hit into the corner boards from Reaves, Dumba slashed him ‘below the belt,' leaving him down on the ice.

Dumba would inevitably receive a $5,000 fine for the slash from the NHL Department of Player Safety.

On Wednesday, Ryan Reaves' brother Jordan, who plays professional football as a defensive end for the CFL's (Canadian Football League) Saskatchewan Rough Riders, took to Twitter, sharing his opinion of the Wild's Matt Dumba. An opinion that is seemingly not too high.

With the possibility of a new feud on the horizon, late in the season where every point counts and the two teams currently splitting the season series with a win each, it should make for an exciting rematch as the Vegas Golden Knights are set to host the Wild on March 12th for their final meeting of the regular season.
