Ivan Demidov and Kaiden Guhle throw down the gloves on the same sequence

The Habs didn't draft Ivan Demidov at #5 for his fighting skills. But today, it's his fire that's doing the talking. In the second period, he threw down the gloves against none other than Tyler Bertuzzi.

A great open ice hit by Guhle leads to a bunch of fights.

The Russian didn't look bad, far from it. Earlier in the period, his relentless work in front of the opposing net resulted in a penalty.

Demidov also made a defensive withdrawal earlier in the game.

Meanwhile, Kaiden Guhle took care of Louis Crevier. Guhle had previously taken a (legal) check from Frank Nazar, and Crevier steps in to

defend his

teammate.

'Prolongation'

On the sequence, Crevier was given an extra two minutes for investigating, and Montreal took advantage to score a power-play goal. Who else but Zachary Bolduc? Already his third of the season. Logan Mailloux who?
