Victor Hedman is one of the NHL's most talented defensemen, but he can throw down, too.

The Tampa Bay Lightning blue-liner stuck up for teammate Ben Bishop after the goaltender exchanged words with Buffalo Sabres forward Marcus Foligno at the end of the second period.

Hedman appeared to be coming out on the losing end after taking a series of blows from Foligno, but he responded with a slew of punches of his own before the officials broke up the bout.

At least Foligno didn't try to fix his hair during the fight this time.
