This Lightning forward dropped the gloves with the Maple Leafs' top agitator.
The Tampa Bay Lightning fell to the Toronto Maple Leafs by a 5-2 final score on Monday (Oct. 21). It was a tough game for the Bolts, and they will now look to turn things back around when they face the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday (Oct. 22).
With the Lightning and Maple Leafs being big rivals, physicality naturally escalated as the contest continued. One of the most notable highlights from the matchup was when Lightning forward Zemgus Girgensons dropped the gloves with Maple Leafs agitator Max Domi.
After Girgensons threw a hit on Maple Leafs defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Domi immediately confronted the Lightning forward. From there, the two dropped the gloves and kept throwing them after they fell to the ice.
The Lightning and Maple Leafs face off against each other again on Nov. 30, and it would not be shocking if we see another chippy game from the rivals.
