Auston Matthews got into a tense argument with former teammate Nick Foligno, with the two almost coming to blows in the third period. Matthews and Foligno got into a verbal encounter after play was blown dead, with the two looking ready to fight before being broken up by the refs.
Foligno played alongside Matthews and the Toronto Maple Leafs in the COVID-shortened 2020-21 NHL Season, having 4 points in 7 regular season games, but struggled in the playoffs due to injuries, with just 1 point in 4 games in a shock loss to the Montreal Canadiens in 7 Games.
The Leafs haven't been afraid to play physical against Connor Bedard and the Chicago Blackhawks, and in a back-and-forth battle at 3-3, both sides have shown intensity in battling throughout, something Leafs fans have been hoping to see more of and for Blackhawks fans the much needed effort.
