Just eight seconds into the Minnesota Wild vs Ottawa Senators matchup, Brandon Duhaime and Austin Watson dropped the gloves in a spirted bout:
The two fought during their teams' matchup last season in November. Watson eventually made his way back to the locker room for what appeared to be a cut hand.
Six minutes following the initial fight, Matt Dumba and Brady Tkachuk decided to have a go at it. This was immediately following a Dumba hit on Tim Stutzle:
Stutzle was fine on the play and very appreciative of Tkachuk standing up for him.
