Montreal Canadiens defenseman Arber Xhekaj has made it clear to the rest of the NHL that he is afraid of nobody.

During Tuesday's game against the Ottawa Senators, a whistle blew as Brady Tkachuk approached Xhekaj, presumably looking for trouble. After all, these two clubs don't necessarily like one another.

Xhekaj saw Tkachuk approaching and flipped a puck at him. Naturally, that set off Ottawa's captain.

The two were spared a fight, thanks to the officiating crew, robbing fans of a matchup literally everyone wants to see.

Luckily, these two teams play once more on Saturday, February 25th. Maybe we'll get to see the two drop the gloves then.
