Auston Matthews Fights Steven Stamkos

Game 3 of the Tampa Bay Lightning and Toronto Maple Leafs turned perilous when Morgan Rielly collided with Brayden Point, causing Point to slam into the boards and fall to the ice.

In the ensuing commotion, Steven Stamkos began throwing punches at Matthews, who eventually dropped his gloves and retaliated. Despite not faring well in the exchange, it marked Matthews' first career fight.

ABSOLUTE CHAOS HAS ENSUED.

STAMKOS AND MATTHEWS GOING TOE TO TOE.
