We had some deja vu last night between Toronto and Ottawa's AHL teams after a similar-looking crosscheck caused an all-out line brawl during the game.

Crazy Brawl Breaks Out From Crosscheck After Goal in AHL Game Between Marlies and Senators

All signs are pointing to the Battle of Ontario being fully back. After the Morgan Rielly and Ridly Greig incident, fans were excited to see the passion back between the two formal rivals.

It appears that passion has trickled down to both teams' AHL affiliates, as an incident broke out last night that looked pretty similar to what happened between the Senators and Leafs. After the tying goal in the second period, a Belleville Senators player cross-checked the goal scorer from the Marlies, starting an all-out line brawl.

Zach Solow ties the game and then things pop off between the #Marlies and Belleville Senators.

Will There be a Suspension Incoming for Belleville Senators Player?

The crosscheck delivered by Morgan Rielly had Ottawa Senators players up in arms about how long he should be suspended. While there are some differences in the two crosschecks, namely where they hit (head versus chest area), the nature of them is pretty similar.

Will there be a suspension coming in? It's hard to know. There was a 2-minute cross-checking penalty given on the play, which would indicate that is as far as the punishment will go.

Either way, fans can be excited that the Battle of Ontario is fully back.
