Goalie fights in the NHL are pretty rare, but hockey fans got not just one, but two of them in nearly as many weeks!

Not long after Alex Nedeljkovic of the San Jose Sharks and Sergei Bobrovsky of the Florida Panthers squared up in a regular season game in mid-January, fans attending Sunday night's Stadium Series game were treated to yet another goalie fight. This time, in the second period between the Boston Bruins and Tampa Bay Lightning, Jeremy Swayman and Andrei Vasilevskiy dropped the gloves for the first-ever goalie fight outdoors!
