Heavy Hitters

Derek Boogaard continued his relatively successful campaign against players not named Wade Belak Tuesday night in taking on and winning a decision over familiar foe Raitis Ivanans in the third period of Kings–Wild. The bout was one of the better ones featuring big-time heavyweights this season.

Tuesday’s two other fights took place in Ducks–Rangers. Drew Miller went after Brandon Dubinsky after Dubinsky hit Corey Perry hard into the boards and the two exchanged some punches in tight. Travis Moen and Ryan Callahan also dropped the gloves later on in the game.
