Rookie Meets Veteran

After expericing some success in the lower weight classes during his rookie campaign, one would naturally expect Kyle Clifford to test the heavyweight waters at some point. On Monday, Shawn Thornton made it easy.

The two exchanged blows in a solid scrap during the first period of Bruins–Kings, and both fighters did pretty well for themselves. The other heavyweight fight of the night featured Cam Janssen and David Koci in a heated battle.

Grabbing headlines was Leafs–Canes, which saw Tim Gleason's situation-ending one-punch of Nikolai Kulemin, who gave Gleason some gloved punches before eating one himself.

An entertaining exchange between Clarke MacArthur and Chad LaRose took place minutes before.
