Marco Kasper faces off with the former Red Wing, Anthony Mantha! 👊 #LGRW</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/BallySportsDET/status/1708295247870988785?s=20'> </a></blockquote></div> Although Kasper, 19, appeared fearless against Mantha, he seemed more focused on restraining him than delivering hits. Historically, Mantha is a reliable middle-six winger known for his physicality, but struggled with many injuries. When teamed up with Tom Wilson, they form one of the most intimidating lines in the NHL. In contrast, Kasper is only starting of his NHL journey. Last season, he scored 23 points over 52 SHL matches�a modest tally but noteworthy given his restricted role. The altercation might not have been the highlight of the night, but it was captivating to watch a rising star like Kasper challenge an established enforcer.
