Edmonton Oilers forward Trent Frederic and Vegas Golden Knights strongman Nicolas Hague headline a heavyweight tilt during the first period of Monday night’s Game 4 showdown.

The fisticuffs broke out in the middle of a scrum following a whistle. The two pugilists exchanged pleasantries before dropping the gloves and protagonizing one of this postseason’s most spirited bouts.

Here’s a look at the fireworks:

The bout was pretty even as both combatants got their fair share of blows in. While there wasn’t a clear winner of the battle, the draw did not diminish the fight’s overall impact.

The Oilers currently lead the series 2-1, with the Golden Knights looking to even the affair at two games apiece following their dramatic Game 3 win last Saturday night.
