Watch: Subban, Malkin engage in awkward fight late in Game 2

Charles LeClaire / USA Today SPorts

It was more of an extended hug than a fight, but Evgeni Malkin and P.K. Subban did their best to fire up their respective squads Wednesday night.

The Pittsburgh Penguins forward and the Nashville Predators defenseman got up close and personal after a stoppage with the Penguins leading by three late in the third period in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final.

Malkin landed a blow to Subban's face while the two were being separated, and the Nashville blue-liner got some punches in near the end, but the prolonged hug is how people will remember this one.
