An Eventful Weekend

Close to two dozen fights took place this past weekend and it was a bunch of NHL hopefuls that provided the most memorable scraps. Jon Mirasty put his fast fists on display once again, this time against Triston Grant. Brad Staubitz and Rick Rypien also opened some eyes with their own toe-to-toe war.

Kevin Westgarth has also continued to impress this preseason. After taking on Chris Stewart early on during Saturday’s Avalanche-Kings game, Westgarth dropped the gloves with Scott Parker and proceeded to send “The Sheriff” to the ice with an uppercut.

Ryan Malone got into his first preseason fight overseas on Sunday, trading blows with Richie Regehr as the Lightning played Eisbären Berlin in an exhibition game.
