It's the first game of the Rookie Tournament, live from Buffalo. For the occasion, the Sabres' prospects take on the Canadiens.

In the 2nd period, true to form, Xavier Simoneau was very intense and eventually threw down the gloves. Honorable mention to Logan Mailloux, who tried to protect his teammate, but Simoneau knows how to stand up for himself, despite being only 5'7".
