Cam Janssen and Arron Asham dropped the gloves for the fifth time in the NHL yesterday.  Like the other four, it was a good one and had the crowd roaring early in the game.  Philly wound up coming out on top, 2-1, in a shootout.

Added video from first fight to make sure we’ve got them covered in the logs:
