Smith and Deslauriers drop the gloves and both land some big shots

Don't look now, but the San Jose Sharks might actually be cooking up a little something this evening.

The 0-10-1 Sharks are currently up 1-0 over the visiting Philadelphia Flyers this evening thanks to an early go ahead goal from forward Anthony Duclair.

And then, if that weren't enough tough guy Givani Smith decided to drop the gloves with Flyers forward Nic Deslauriers to give us a nice little tussle at center ice.

Check it out:

Great tilt from two big boys. The edge probably goes to Deslauriers for the take down but honestly this was a good, old fashioned scrap where both boys landed their shots. 

Read below for more fisticuffs between heavyweights Arber Xhekaj and Tanner Jeannot from earlier this evening.

The Montreal Canadiens are taking an absolute whooping from the Tampa Bay Lightning this evening, currently down 4-0 on home ice.

Not pretty.

You know what is pretty though? A true NHL heavyweight tilt.

We don't get too many heavyweight fights in the NHL anymore these days because there are just so few genuine heavyweights left in the NHL. There's Ryan Reaves of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Milan Lucic of the Boston Bruins, Ross Johnston of the Anaheim Ducks, Matt Martin of the New York Islanders, Tom Wilson of the Washington Capitals, Zac MacEwen of the Ottawa Senators and tonight's combatants Tanner Jeannot of the Lightning and Arber Xhekaj of the Canadiens.

Fortunately for our enjoyment, Jeannot and Xhekaj dropped the gloves this evening to give us an old fashioned NHL heavyweight tilt.

Two big boys chuckin' knuckles! That's hockey, baby!
