Howe Gets in Second Fight in As Many Games In the AHL

Howe and Middleton's fight was a spirited tilt that saw neither really get the upper hand. While the two tough guys traded blows, they eventually got tangled up and fell to the ice together. It's unclear if either landed any of the big shots they threw.

Howe Has Been Making a Name For Himself as a Fighter in the AHL

Howe is not shy about dropping the gloves, and many of his fights are old-school fights where he squares up with his opponent rather than dropping the gloves in the heat of the moment. This type of fighting is getting rarer in professional hockey, however, Howe seems to want to keep the tradition going.
