Comments: Richards nails Bouchard with a hard open-ice hit near the side boards. Bouchard gets back up and challenges Richards, who obliges, and they drop the gloves and skate to center ice before locking horns. Richards connects with an uppercut and three overhand rights while Bouchard leans away from the punches. The two go back and forth with rights before Bouchard is able to grabs Richards right arm, preventing him from throwing. Richards gets free and throws an uppercut followed by two rights. Bouchard attempts a locked-out right that misses the target, allowing Richards to switch hands and throw a flurry of left hooks and uppercuts. Richards pushes Bouchard against the bench and throws a body shot-overhand right-uppercut combination while Bouchard fights to get loose. Richards then switches hands and connects with one final left before the linesmen decide that it's time to end the fight, grabbing the two while they fall to the ice.
