Philadelphia Flyers enforcer Nicolas Deslauriers made his season debut against the Washington Capitals on Tuesday (Oct. 22). Unsurprisingly, the 33-year-old quickly did precisely what he has become famous for in the matchup.
During the beginning stages of the first period, Deslauriers dropped the gloves with Capitals defenseman Dylan McIlrath. It ended up being a lengthy fight, too, as both tough guys got some great shots in.
Deslauriers certainly handled himself well against the 6-foot-5, 232-pound McIlrath. This is not particularly surprising, though, as Deslauriers is easily one of the toughest players in the sport.
