Many roll their eyes when two heavyweights halfheartedly engage in a “staged fight.”
There’s some novelty when smaller-to-average-sized players square off, especially for guys who rarely do so ... and especially when at least one of those fighters is a big star.
That happened on Friday, as Jonathan Toews dropped the gloves with Adam Henrique.
As you can see above, the usual give-and-take made way to a fight, which the officials allowed to take place (maybe with some bemusement?).
This was the fourth NHL fight, according to Hockey Fights.

Adam Henrique's three #NHL fights (reg. season + playoffs) have come vs. current or former captains: J. Iginla, R. McDonagh, J. Toews.
