eff is the younger of the two brothers and received seven penalty minutes for his fight. However, this isn’t the first time Jeff has used his fists on the rink.

Last year, during a game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, Jeff got into a fight with Brandon Carlo. Mike was impressed with his brother’s fighting skills when he spoke with the UFC:

“That was a sick fight. It wasn’t one of those ‘grab the jersey and push each other around for 30 seconds waiting for the refs to jump in’ — Jeff was trying to give that guy a new face; it was awesome.”
