The altercation began when Hathaway took offense to a hard hit by Reaves near the Bruins bench. The two engaged in a shoving match, and Hathaway held his own against the fiery enforcer. As the referees intervened to separate the players, Hathaway took the opportunity to slip back onto the Bruins bench, while Reaves was restrained by officials.
The two players continued to exchange words as the referees attempted to calm the situation and direct Reaves back to the Wild bench. Reaves continued to bark at Hathaway, but would eat his words as the Bruins stomped the Wild 5-2.
