Olivier & Xhekaj Drop Gloves in Heavy Weight Bout

Last night the Columbus Blue Jackets and Montreal Canadiens played at the Bell Centre on Hockey Night in Canada.

Unfortunately, the Blue Jackets dropped the game 5-1; however, early in the second period, every NHL fan got to see what they love to see.

Mathieu Olivier and Arber Xhekaj dropped the gloves in a big-boy heavyweight tilt.

The fight was very toe-to-toe, with both fighters throwing huge right hands. The bout lasted just shy of 40 seconds, with Olivier looking to get the upper hand in the fight.

It doesn't always matter the winner, but in Xhekaj's case he has slowly moved his way up the ranks of the toughest guys in the NHL. However, Olivier finds himself in the top five of the toughest fighters in the NHL at this time.

All in all, a great fight by two big heavyweights.
