During a tense match between the Boston Bruins and Arizona Coyotes, the situation intensified when Bruins' Brad Marchand got into a fierce confrontation with Coyotes' star Clayton Keller.
The conflict began near the Bruins' bench in a struggle for the puck, leading to a face-off between Marchand and Keller. The altercation heated up when Marchand pushed Keller, and in response, Keller fought back. Marchand then intensified the fight, removing his gloves and overpowering Keller, causing him to fall to the ice.
This aggressive incident sparked a large brawl on the ice, amplifying the fervor of an already electric game.
At the same time, Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy established the game's intensity by delivering a powerful check to a Coyotes forward shortly before.
