Colorado Avalanche defenseman Andreas Englund challenged Vegas Golden Knights forward Keegan Kolesar, who is not one to back down. A curious dance for Englund to initiate, his team sitting on a 1 goal lead. Although, that's as good a time as any to fire up the boys, I suppose.


Each participant earned 5-for-fighting, as always.

The Golden Knights clawed back and took a 3-2 victory over the reigning champs. So, it's entirely possible that Englund's fight had an inverse effect on his team's trajectory on Monday night.

Although, it's far more likely that one team just scored more goals than the other in this given contest...
