Hathaway took issue with a forceful hit delivered by Reaves near the Bruins bench, leading the two to engage in a pushing match. Reaves is renowned for his formidable fists and is one of the most feared fighters in the league. As the referees began trying to separate the two, Hathaway quickly seized the chance to jump onto the Bruins bench while Reaves was restrained by officials.

The pair exchanged words for quite some time as the referees endeavored to defuse the situation and usher Reaves back to the Wild bench. Unfortunately for Reaves, Hathaway would have the final say, as the Bruins triumphed over the Wild with a 5-2 victory.
