One former Syracuse Crunch player and another who may be well on his way toward that category squared off in the Tampa Bay-Anaheim game on Sunday.

Patrick Maroon, a great power forward who skated for Syracuse from 2010-12, messed with up-and-coming Lightning defenseman Luke Witkowski, on recall from Tampa Bay.

Maroon got in the better shots but Witkowski was unfazed, coming back for more until the bell rang.

Tampa Bay won the game, 5-3.
