Brutal Bruins-Hurricanes Fight Caught on Video: Watch Deslauriers Battle Jeannot

Boston Bruins forward Tanner Jeannot and Carolina Hurricanes forward Nicolas Deslauriers engaged in a lengthy, back-and-forth fight during the first period on Tuesday night at Lenovo Center in Raleigh. The bout between the two NHL enforcers lasted nearly a full minute, with both players landing punches in what social media users quickly deemed an early fight of the year candidate.

The scrap occurred during a clash between the NHL's top two teams, which remained tied 1-1 after the first period following goals from Boston's Pavel Zacha and Carolina's Jackson Blake. The altercation marked a rematch of a February 2026 bout between the pair, when Deslauriers was still playing for the Philadelphia Flyers before being traded to Carolina.
