The Detroit Red Wings are once again back in action tonight at Little Caesars Arena, and it's the second career National Hockey League contest for Swedish defenseman Simon Edvinsson. The towering blue liner, who was selected with the 6th overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft by the Red Wings, has already been sure to introduce himself rudely to the competition with his first credited hit being on Colorado Avalanche sniper forward Nathan MacKinnon: 

And now, Edvinsson is using his size and reach to get under the skin of an opponent who has made a career of driving his opposition crazy himself in Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk: 

And it was obvious that the son of former St. Louis Blues forward Keith Tkachuk was none too pleased, judging by the jawing that he gave to Edvinsson afterward as they were skating towards the benches.
