During the second period of Monday night's tilt between the Wild and Flyers, Minnesota goalie Devan Dubnyk took exception to Philadelphia forward Scott Laughton invading his personal space.

Flyers netminder Carter Hart admitted he briefly considered engaging in a goalie fight with Dubnyk, but thought better of it.
"I probably would have gotten my ass kicked," Hart told Dave Isaac of the Courier-Post.
The tale of the tape certainly wouldn't have favored the Flyers' rookie goaltender. Hart, 20, stands at 6-foot-2 and 181 lbs, while Dubnyk, 32, is listed at 6-foot-6, 224 lbs.
There's no record of Dubnyk partaking in a goalie fight in the NHL, but he's no stranger to ruffling feathers. In two separate incidents during the 2016-17 season, he engaged in a shoving match with Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog and started a line brawl with the New York Islanders.
