Video: Lightning's Cirelli Fights Islanders' Nelson

After charging Tampa Bay Lightning forward Alex Killorn, Brock Nelson was quickly jumped by Anthony Cirelli. From here, the two got into a heated tilt.

Cirelli certainly gained more respect from his teammates after standing up for Killorn. Nelson's hit was definitely a big one and he did receive a two-minute minor as a result of it. Furthermore, these two teams have developed a rivalry due to their playoff battles over the last two years.

For two players who are not known for their fighting abilities, they certainly provided us hockey fans with a very entertaining bout. Sadly, though, the Islanders and Lightning do not play against each other again until March 27th. Therefore, we're in for a long wait before we see another fun matchup between the two.
