Brayden Schenn and Nick Foligno engage in fight during Winter Classic

During the Winter Classic at Wrigley Field, St. Louis Blues player Brayden Schenn initiated a fight with Nick Foligno of the Chicago Blackhawks in the second period. The Blues were leading 5-1 at the time. Schenn explained that he wanted to create a memorable moment, as it might be a rare opportunity to fight in such a significant game. He took a shift to ask Foligno to fight, and if Foligno had declined, Schenn would have returned to the bench. Both players engaged in a spirited bout, with Schenn likening the experience to being a UFC fighter. Foligno, while not known primarily for fighting, has participated in several bouts during his career.
