Lafreniere Drops Gloves with Stamkos
After the final buzzer in Game 5, the Rangers and Lightning got into a spirited scrum. This led to significant fisticuffs between two former first overall picks (Stamkos - 2008, Lafreniere - 2020). Lightning captain Steven Stamkos (6'0" 193 lbs) and Rangers youngster Alexis Lafreniere (6'2" 196 lbs) squared off.
This bout was only the 5th career fight for Stamkos and 2nd career fight for Lafreniere. Usually guys taken first overall are not necessarily known for their fighting skills.
Tempers continue to rise in this best-of-7 Eastern Conference Final matchup as we head to Tampa for Game 6 on Saturday night.
