After dropping the mitts during Thursday's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets with Mathieu Olivier, Montreal Canadiens rookie defenceman Arber Xhekaj was at it again.
After laying a big hit on Flyers forward Patrick Brown, Nicolas Deslauriers comes in to defend his teammate and takes on Arber Xhekaj in a heavyweight tilt.
Deslauriers lands a few good punches on Xhekaj, before the pair fall to the ice and then head to their respective locker rooms for the remainder of the second period.
Arber Xhekaj lands a beautiful hit, has to fight Nic Deslauriers over it.
