Intense Start to the 2025-26 NHL Season: Avalanche vs. Kings Game Highlights and Player Altercation
The 2025-26 NHL season kicked off with a fight between players from the Colorado Avalanche and the Los Angeles Kings. During the first period, Kings forward Warren Foegele took a hard hit from Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson, leading to a scuffle near the benches. Jeff Malott, a Kings winger, then engaged in a fight with Manson, possibly due to his brother's background in the UFC. The altercation ended with officials intervening and breaking up the fight.

However, the Avalanche emerged victorious with Martin Necas scoring two goals and Nathan MacKinnon contributing two assists.
