Intense fight breaks out during Maple Leafs and Canadiens rookie series game

Things have gotten heated during the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs rookie series game.

Earlier today, the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens prospects faced off in their rookie series game, and within just two minutes Florian Xhekaj and Chas Sharpe dropped the gloves in a heated tilt.

Xhekaj, the younger brother of Montreal Canadiens defender Arber Xhekaj, is certainly living up to the family name as he easily handled Maple Leafs prospect Sharpe.

After a short conversion the two dropped the gloves and gave it their all. However, in the end Xhekaj overpowered Sharpe with a few solid punches.

Rookie tournaments are all about making a name for yourself and showing your worth.
