Heavy Returns

Hammers were thrown on the NHL’s first big night after the Olympics break. There were a total of five fights Thursday night, four of them lop-sided.

The first post-break bout was Eric Boulton dropping the gloves with Tim Gleason. Boulton quickly got the upper hand and then quickly got in an uppercut, sending Gleason to the ice. Gleason was escorted off, but returned and played.
