During the third period of the Toronto Maple Leafs\u2019 last game, a 5-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers, an incident happened late in the third period. After the game had already been decided, Auston Matthews and Travis Konecny got into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The game had been physical all night; and, as the game was winding down, Konecny and Matthews – who had been going at each other all game – began to tussle. Both players were cross-checking and doing stick work on each other. From a Maple Leafs\u2019 perspective, Konecny seemed to want to goad Matthews into a fight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
