(VIDEO): Scott Laughton settles the score with Matt Niskanen!

The code dictated that this fight needed to happen. Less than a month after Washington Capitals defenseman Matt Niskanen levelled Scott Laughton of the Philadelphia Flyers, the two dropped the gloves and Laughton regained some honour. Laughton got caught on Jan.15 cutting through the middle of the ice, and Niskanen made him pay. It was a clean hit, but left Laughton with a concussion. So in their first meeting since the hit, Laughton challenged Niskanen in a bout. Despite the fact that Niskanen definitely got the upper hand in this fight, Laughton regained some measure of respect. Long live the hockey code.
