During the Washington Capitals’ dominant 5-1 win over the San Jose Sharks on Saturday night, tensions boiled over in the second period. Capitals winger Tom Wilson and Sharks forward Zach Ostapchuk dropped the gloves and exchanged blows in a hard-hitting fight.

Wilson fired several heavy rights directly at Ostapchuk’s face. Ostapchuk tried to fight back but was quickly overpowered by Wilson’s barrage of punches. The officials moved in to break it up after Ostapchuk dropped to the ice.

Both Wilson and Ostapchuk were assessed fighting majors for the fight. Ostapchuk is playing his first game with the Sharks after being traded from the Senators at the deadline.
