The Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs share a longstanding rivalry, extending across various hockey leagues. Despite their NHL standings, their AHL affiliates, the Belleville Senators and Toronto Marlies, are separated by just 6 points.
In a recent North Division matchup, the Marlies led 3-0 against the Belleville Senators. Seeking to ignite his team, Senators forward Boko Imama tried to shake things up, not realizing the unwavering Kyle Clifford of the Marlies.
Imama received a hefty 34 minutes of penalties, including majors for spearing and fighting, along with a penalty for leaving the bench to incite the altercation. Clifford got 5 minutes for fighting, 2 minutes for leaving the bench, and a game misconduct.
