Bruins’ Nikita Zadorov Follows His Own Code in On-Ice Fight
Nikita Zadorov made a strong impression with a fierce hit on Scott Laughton that ignited a fight during the game in Toronto. Known for adhering strictly to unwritten hockey rules, Zadorov reacted decisively after Buffalo’s Jordan Greenway declined to respond following a heavy hit on Elias Lindholm.
The Incident and Response
In the second period, Zadorov delivered a solid check that knocked Maple Leafs veteran Scott Laughton off his feet and forced him out of the game. Shortly thereafter, when Bobby McMann challenged him, Zadorov accepted the confrontation without hesitation.
Fight Details
- The skirmish involved wrestling and tugging between the two players.
- McMann, shorter by five inches and with less reach, managed to land a few glancing rights to the back of Zadorov’s helmet.
- Zadorov responded with a couple of short-armed uppercuts.
Neither player sustained significant damage as both were sent to the penalty box for 5 minutes.
Nikita Zadorov continues to embody the tough, rule-driven style he promotes, responding promptly to challenges on the ice.
