The Philadelphia Flyers forward took part in arguably the best fight of the 2023-24 season.
Nic Deslauriers might not be the biggest player on the Philadelphia Flyers - but he sure knows how to fight.
In the first five minutes of their game against the New York Rangers there was a fight. Deslauriers went toe-to-toe with rookie Matt Rempe. The end result was surprisingly impressive.
Despite his experience in the NHL, Deslauriers was at a height and weight disadvantage in this bout. He stands 6-foot-1 and 218 lbs (according to NHL.com) while his opponent was a towering 6-foot-7, 241 lbs.
Rempe is only skating in his fourth NHL game and already has three fights (this one being his third). It looks like his addition will ramp up the intensity in this Metropolitan Division rivalry.
