On Thursday, the fights that generated some attention involved guys who rarely drop the gloves.
This time around, we’re taking a look at guys who are little more adept at throwing knuckles.
The New Jersey Devils are involved in both cases. Last night, it was Michael Cammalleri getting in a fight. This time, Miles Wood had quite the raucous, rugged battle with Steven Oleksy:

Update: The Penguins ended up winning 4-1.
