Two NHL Affiliate AHL Teams Combine For a Nasty Graphic Tilt
The Lehigh Valley Phantoms, the AHL affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers, are the exact opposite of the Philadelphia Flyers as they�have a bright future ahead of them. They currently have a 28-22 record and are 16 games out of the playoffs, placing them fourth in their division.
As a video of Friday night's AHL game between the Lehigh Valley Phantoms and the Providence Bruins is going viral on social media owing to the bloody and violent mess it left behind, they seem to be winning both on and off the ice.
WARNING: GRAPHIC VIDEO BELOW
View the fight footage:
The fight included McLaughlin of the Bruins getting beat up by Garrett Wilson of the Phantoms, a well-known fighter across the many levels of professional hockey he has played. Whether playing in the NHL, AHL, ECHL, or OHL, Wilson is known for finishing the season with more penalty minutes than points every single year.
In 52 games this season, Wilson has racked up 153 penalty minutes, the majority of which came from fighting. A bloody mess resembled the one from his most recent tilt against the Providence Bruins player since Wilson was involved in a violent tilt years ago that ended with him falling face first onto the ice.
