Juraj Slafkovsky dropped the gloves with Connor Clifton at 4:15 mark of the final period during the NHL clash between the Montreal Canandiens and Buffalo Sabres.

After Juraj Slafkovsky's determined play to get the puck in the offensive zone, the former No.1 pick lost possession but was expecting a call, which he did not get.

He looked disappointed and looked back towards Clifton seemed to be chirping the defenseman. Slafkovsky took notice and pushed Clifton right onto the boards.

Clifton and Slafkovsky traded non-lethal punches, and the Habs defenceman even lost his footing for a split second. But he maintained his balance and continued to go at Clifton.

Both players tugged at each other, but Slafkovsky had the last power move, which brought Clifton down onto the ice.
