Nic Deslauriers/Mike McLeod, Joel Farabee/Brendan Smith Throw Down in Back-to-Back Fights

Thursday's Flyers-Devils game got real chippy real fast when Devils defenseman Dougie Hamilton crunched Travis Konecny from behind. Two fights transpired within two minutes of each other.

Deslauriers had the clear advantage on Mike McLeod, and it was pretty obvious who won this bout. The Flyers' enforcer is among the NHL's apex predators, so anyone willing to fight him deserves respect.

Philadelphia forward Joel Farabee laid a solid hit on Devils defenseman Brendan Smith, which the veteran didn't like. So the two exchanged punches, and Farabee did a respectable job against the veteran.
