Brett Ritchie Throws Absolute Haymakers In First Fight With Bruins Vs. Sharks

Tempers were hot Tuesday night at TD Garden.

The Boston Bruins blew up their game against the San Jose Sharks in the second period with three goals en route to a 5-1 win.

B’s captain Zdeno Chara and Evander Kane exchanged words on two separate occasions, one of which came after the winger caught Charlie McAvoy with a cross check to the neck.

But it wasn’t the 6-foot-9 defenseman who dropped the gloves. Instead it was newcomer Brett Ritchie duking it out with Barclay Goodrow with just over seven minutes left in the game.

The fight was pretty one-sided, with Ritchie connecting on some absolute haymakers.

Pretty solid first bout as a member of the Black and Gold if we do say so ourselves.
