The game between the Detroit Red Wings and Ottawa Senators featured an intense fight between Detroit’s Simon Edvinsson and Ottawa’s Brady Tkachuk.

The scrap occurred late in the first period after Edvinsson got tangled up with Senators forward Tim Stützle. Tkachuk immediately came to his teammate’s defense, dropping the gloves with Edvinsson at center ice.

The two players were seen holding each other’s jerseys before Edvinsson lost his balance and fell to the ice. As referees moved in to break it up, Tkachuk landed a couple of extra shots on the Red Wings defenseman. The fight earned both players a five-minute major for fighting.

Watching eagerly from the stands was Brady Tkachuk’s father, hockey legend Keith Tkachuk. Cameras captured the elder Tkachuk cheering as his son squared off with Edvinsson.
