Brandon Duhaime and Jakub Lauko face off in the first period of a game between the Bruins and Wild

WATCH: Jakub Lauko exchanges massive punches with Brandon Duhaime in spirited fight

In a highly anticipated rematch between the Boston Bruins and the Minnesota Wild, Jakub Lauko found himself once again at the center of attention. Lauko, who had become enemy number one for the Wild in their previous matchup, was not one to shy away from dropping the gloves. His previous fight against Connor Dewar in Boston had ignited the crowd and led to a blowout loss for the Wild.

As the puck dropped in the Xcel Energy Center, the atmosphere was charged with anticipation. The Wild were determined to make sure that the energy in their home arena was turned up. Trailing early in the game 1-0, Brandon Duhaime took matters into his own hands, seeking out Jakub Lauko for a showdown, and looking to bring the energy back to St. Paul.

Three minutes into the game, Duhaime and Jakub Lauko engaged in a spirited bout, both players eager to establish dominance. The intensity of the fight was palpable, with each player landing solid punches. However, unlike Lauko's previous tilt with Dewar, neither player had their helmets knocked off, and both managed to stay on their feet before the referees intervened to break up the fight.

Despite the fisticuffs, the fight did not have the same galvanizing effect as Jakub Lauko's previous bout a few days ago. The Wild still found themselves trailing 1-0 in the late first period, and the energy surge they had hoped for did not materialize.
