WATCH: Keegan Kolesar has intense stare down contest with Jets fan after scoring Knights' fourth goal

A rare incident happened with Keegan Kolesar during today's game between the Winnipeg Jets and the Vegas Golden Knights. A fan sitting behind the glass shield showed an unusual reaction to a goal scored by Kolesar of the Golden Knights. The fan appeared to challenge Kolesar by staring him right in the eye, with both parties raising their hands upward in a wrestling stance.

Despite Keegan Kolesar's imposing physical presence, the fan did not appear to be intimidated by him. This was evident when the fan apparently uttered the words "No, I'm not scared of you" to Kolesar. The two were locked in an endless staring contest that captured the attention of fans in the arena and viewers watching the game at home. Finally, Kolesar broke eye-contact and skated away.

It is not uncommon for fans to interact with players during games, but this particular encounter between Kolesar and the fan was quite funny. Kolesar, who is listed at 6'2" and 217 lbs, is not someone to be trifled with. However, the fan seemed unfazed by Kolesar's size and remained defiant throughout the encounter.

Keegan Kolesar's first NHL debut came in January 2020 when he was called up to the Golden Knights. He made his debut against his former team, the Columbus Blue Jackets, the following night.
