After a whistle late in the third period of Tuesday night's game between the Montreal Canadiens and Winnipeg Jets, Arber Xhekaj and Adam Lowry dropped the mitts in a spirited bout, with both players exchanging a handful of solid blows. Xhekaj ended up getting the better of his counterpart, wrestling the Jets forward to the ice before being separated by the officials.

As Xhekaj was skating back to the dressing room, he proceeded to tap on the Canadiens logo on his chest and grabbing it, showing the blue-blanc-rouge some love.

The Canadiens would go on to defeat the Winnipeg Jets by a score of 4-1. This is the first time the Canadiens have won back-to-back games in regulation since late-October.
Montreal will be back in action on Thursday night when they face the Florida Panthers at the Bell Centre.
