Yakov Trenin Fights Brayden McNabb after High Hit on Mark Jankowski

On Saturday's New Year's Eve matchup between the Nashville Predators and the Vegas Golden Knights, fans were treated to a big-time tilt. Midway through the middle frame, a fight broke out between Predators forward Yakov Trenin and Golden Knights defenseman Brayden McNabb.

McNabb laid a high hit on Nashville's Mark Jankowski - for which he was ejected - and was forced to answer the bell when Trenin came knocking:

All told, McNabb netted 20 minutes in PIMs and a match penalty, and Trenin earned an instigator penalty as well as the 5-for-fighting.

Vegas would take the two points, despite being without a defenseman for half the game; Nashville would earn a point, losing in overtime 5-4.
