DeBrincat, who was acquired from Chicago for the seventh overall draft pick during the offseason, is recognized for his excellent shooting and scoring abilities. However, following tonight's game, he will also be known for his physical prowess. In the early stages of the second period, DeBrincat was checked along the boards, causing him to spin and cut his face, which clearly enraged him and prompted him to seek revenge.
DeBrincat acted quickly, and on his next shift, he sought to settle the score with the Flyers. He seized
Joel Farabee, a promising young Flyers forward, and engaged in a fierce altercation, demonstrating an exceptional level of physicality for someone not known for it.
This fight ignited even more intensity from both teams, resulting in more altercations and several players being ejected for rough play. Despite the fact that neither team is in contention for the playoffs, the players' competitiveness remains at a high level.
