The difference between fighting sports and just fighting?
In a real fight, there are no rules, so if you want to take off your prosthetic leg and beat a man with it, it is fair game.
This happened during an Edmonton Oilers vs. Vegas Golden Knights game.
Mikko Koskinen stopped 36 shots and earned his 11th victory as the Edmonton Oilers beat the Vegas Golden Knights 3-2 on Saturday night.
Koskinen’s win total is tied for the NHL’s best this season. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Zach Hyman and Jesse Puljujarvi scored for the Oilers, who won for the fourth time in five games to climb back into first place in the Pacific Division.
“They’re a close team,” Edmonton coach Dave Tippett said. “The guys we’ve brought in have enhanced our group. The chemistry of the group is really solid. With some of the injuries we’ve had, we’ve found out a little about our depth.”
Chandler Stephenson and Reilly Smith scored for Vegas, while Robin Lehner made 27 saves.
Edmonton pushed its lead to three goals when Evan Bouchard sent a rink-length pass into the offensive zone, where Puljujarvi entered on a breakaway and beat Lehner to snap an eight-game goal drought with his seventh of the season.
Stephenson responded with his third goal in three games, whipping past two defenders and finding a leak between Koskinen and the post. Vegas got within a goal when a loose puck in front of Koskinen was batted in by what replays appeared to show Jonathan Marchessault connecting with a backhand, but was credited to Smith for his ninth goal of the season — tied for the team lead.
But Vegas couldn’t score again.
Vegas took two Ls this evening, but it wasn’t a pretty bad fight.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
