The Columbus Blue Jackets and Dallas Stars aren't traditional rivals by any stretch. Blue Jacket forward Josh Anderson and Stars forward Jamie Benn might be trying to change that.
The two met at center ice for a tilt after a hit during tonight's game and a hit from a game before may have caused the tensions to rise.
As far as fights in the modern era go, this doesn't get much better. Both big-time players with some size and heft to them, they let the fists fly early and often.
Anderson looked like he got the better of Benn in the fight but that might be my homer-ism talking.
