Things get heated after Arber Xhekaj flips the puck at Brady Tkachuk at the buzzer (VIDEO)
Canadiens' defenseman Arber Xhekaj has quickly become one of the best enforcers in today's NHL.
In his rookie season, he hasn't shied away from veteran heavyweights such as Zack Kassian, Patrick Maroon and Nicolas Deslauriers, to name a few.
And earlier tonight was no different! But this time, he decided to shake things up with Senators captain, and fellow youngster, Brady Tkachuk.
Right as the buzzer went to end the second period, Xhekaj took the opportunity to softly flick the puck at an on rushing Tkachuk.
Which quickly got things heated. Check it out:
The linesmen were able to get in between the two before anything more serious happened, but not before a few punches with the gloves.
Tkachuk got the last laugh however, as his 20th of the season was a game winner in a 5-4 decision for Ottawa over Montreal.
