Sharks’ Knyzhov Drops Gloves with Marcus Foligno; Immediately Regrets It

The Minnesota Wild and San Jose Sharks are currently in the 1st intermission of tonight’s late-late game out in California. The Wild hold a 2-1 lead and the first 20 minutes were fun to watch. But the talker came after a fight broke out between Marcus Foligno and Nikolai Knyzhov just before break.

The Sharks’ Nikolai Knyzhov is just 22-years-old so someone with a bit more wisdom should have told him that dropping the gloves with Marcus Foligno would be a terrible idea. Instead, he had to find out the hard way… and boy did he ever.

You know it’s bad when Marcus Foligno has to call for the ref to intervene.
