Erik Gudbranson rocks Michael Pezzetta in second period tilt

Five minutes into the second period during Wednesday's game between Montreal and Columbus, we had arguably the most one-sided fight so far this season.

Canadiens forward Michael Pezzetta skated behind Columbus' net and laid a big hit on Blue Jackets rookie Jake Christiansen. After Joonas Korpisalo froze the puck, Columbus defenceman Erik Gudbranson took exception and dropped the gloves with Pezzetta.

The size difference worked in Gudbranson's favour as he was able to get several right's in before taking Pezzetta down to the ice.
