Late in the second period between the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Timothy Liljegren stepped up and took a shot at Logan Mailloux that knocked him to his knees.
Liljegren is not known for his physicality so to see him knock down a big guy like Mailloux is either a product of Liljegren wanting to start something or a poor play from Mailloux where he was skating with his head down.
Following the hit, everything went unchained and there was a mass of players going after each other.
Unfortunately, Ryan Reaves was not on the ice because if he was then we could have seen a good old-fashioned hockey fight between Reaves and Arber Xhekaj who was on the ice.
