LATEST | Canucks' Cole manhandles superstar forward in mismatched fight

The matchup was not without its fair share of physicality, as several scrums broke out resulting in 45 total penalty minutes, including a Nikita Zadorov five-minute match penalty and a mismatched tilt between Ian Cole and Alex Debrincat. Watch Cole land several tough blows as the undersized Debrincat struggles to hold his own against the much bigger Canucks rearguard:

Debrincat leads with an aggressive approach, but quickly tires as Cole lands several haymakers and hauls him down. Both would be assessed five-minute fighting penalties.
