Epic Showdown: Nedeljkovic and Bobrovsky Clash in Rare Goalie Brawl, Shocking Sharks-Panthers Fans
Desharnais was playing in his first game since November, missing time due to an elbow injury that required surgery. So his teammates may have been particularly uneasy about him taking a big hit. Especially one that appeared to come after the play was whistled dead. Demonstrating that heightened concern, Nedeljkovic quickly responded by shoving Rodrigues.
As several players tussled at the boards, Bobrovsky skated from his side of the ice, dropped his gloves and zeroed in on Nedeljkovic.
For a player who had never gotten into a fight during his 16-year NHL career, Bobrovsky didn’t hesitate to take on Nedeljkovic. This was also the first NHL fight for the Sharks’ goaltender, but he had previously tussled with fellow goalie Ryan Massa when he played in the ECHL, according to The Athletic (via HockeyFights.com).
