It was only 15 seconds from the fight between Ryan Reaves and Nic Deslauriers that another fight broke out. While both forwards served in the penalty box, the fans roared with excitement and cheers. They indeed got the better end of their ticket as they watched not only an ice hockey game but also a fighting match.

Though the second fight wasn’t stretched long like the previous one, Flyers forward Wade Allison got the upper hand in the bout. Within seconds of dropping the gloves, Wade smashed Minnesota Wilds forward Mason Shaw into the boards and took him out of action. 

The fight ended quickly as the officials were quick to respond while the fans roared and teammates stood by to pick up the match. It didn’t take another second for the third fight to begin. As both forwards retracted to their base, Wilds alternate captain Marcus Foligno took a shot at Flyers forward Zack MacEwen. 

The puck was just dropped after Mason and Wade’s fight, while another began. Having bouts in such a short period of time, was a sight a see for the fans. Though Foligno took the first few heavy hits, he turned it down by punching the 26-year-old forward on the ice. 

All three fights took within 16 seconds of the game clock and funnily enough they weren’t related to each other at all. The combination of players in each fight was different yet they all connected to each other in a single game.

The match ended with the Wild taking the Flyers down with a 3-2 score having 26-17-4 in their own pockets. The Philadelphia Flyers now hold a 20-21-9 record in their book.
