As a result, Coyotes tough guy Liam O'Brien challenged Reaves, but the play was blown dead as bot to escalate the situation. Off the ensuing faceoff, O'Brien goes at Reaves and the two drop the gloves for a heavy weight tilt; take a look.
The two players dropped the gloves and drifted out to centre ice while sizing each other up before engaging and throwing some pretty good shots. It was even to start, but it didn't take long for them to start trading blows.
With the reach of Reaves, it didn't take long for him to overpower O'Brien before narrowly missing a punch right on the button before taking O'Brien down to end the fight.
