Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is not known as a fighter, but he's now referred to as "Rocky" to his Edmonton Oilers team-mates after taking on the role of enforcer against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
It was a brilliant night for the Oilers, as they beat their Canadian rivals 5-2 on Wednesday to return to winning ways. Connor McDavid scored two goals for the fifth consecutive game, but the crowd really went wild as a fight broke out in the third period.
The Leafs were frustrated by a spirited Oilers performance all night, and Justin Holl took his anger out on Kailer Yamamoto as he delivered a cheap hit on the winger. Nugent-Hopkins didn't appreciate it at all, and was straight on his case as the gloves dropped - and he got the better of the large defenseman.
