It's not Olivier's first rodeo in the fight scene. Nope, he was also part of a scrap last week when he went toe-to-toe with Rangers enforcer Matt Rempe where he left him with a black eye.

Seems like Olivier's not one to shy away from a little rough and tumble action on the ice.

Now, back to the latest bout � Olivier and Carrick didn't hold back as they exchanged blows, giving fans a spectacle to remember. It's moments like these that remind us why we love the grit and intensity of hockey.
