There was a great deal of animosity between the Montreal Canadiens and the Ottawa Senators this afternoon. Indeed, solid checks were applied and two fights notably broke out.

If Arber Xhekaj's brother, Florian, had the upper hand against his opponent, it was quite the opposite for the Habs prospect, Riley McKay, who squared off against the 6'7" giant, Djibril Toure.

Although he received a severe beating, we greatly appreciated the young man's audacity, who did not hesitate to drop the gloves against a player much bigger than him.

"I respect Riley McKay's courage for engaging in a fight despite the size deficit, but unfortunately, it did not go very well for him." - Matt Drake

Riley McKay, 24 years old, collected two goals and five assists (seven points) in 23 games with the Laval Rocket last season, all while accumulating 118 penalty minutes.
