Heavyweight tilt between two big bodied defensemen in the NHL: one who got facial reconstruction surgery last season

The spirited exchange ended in a draw, leaving fans on the edge of their seats.

Things heated up after the Sharks hit the post, leading to a showdown between Tinordi and Sabourin.

The vets fighters threw some serious punches, with Sabourin landing a couple of powerful overhand rights.

Notably, Tinordi, who had face surgery and missed a lot of time last season, risked breaking his face again in the fierce exchange tonight.

Thankfully, Tinordi was okay and has since returned to the game.
