Minnesota Wild rookie Kurtis Gabriel is just three games into his NHL career, but has already put together a rather impressive punching portfolio.
After his first big-league tilt with Chris Thorburn (who may as well have cement running through his veins) Gabriel dropped the gloves Friday with the Winnipeg Jets' other heavy hitter, Anthony Peluso.
Gabriel did get dinged, but to his credit, he landed some decent shots early.
