Boston Bruins forward Mark Kastelic has become a fan favorite with the Original Six club this season. His gritty style of play and toughness are significant reasons behind it, and he certainly showed that off in the Bruins' March 2 contest against the Minnesota Wild.
During the first period of the matchup, Kastelic had a spirited fight with Wild forward Marcus Foligno. Both players landed multiple hard punches in the scrap before Foligno secured the takedown.
Like Kastelic, Foligno is known for his toughness, so it is not surprising in the slightest that this fight was a good one. Both players handled themselves well, and the scrap undoubtedly fired up the fans at Xcel Energy Center.
With this fight, Kastelic now sits at 95 penalty minutes this season, while Foligno has increased his total to 62 penalty minutes.
