<p>Saturday was the final home game of the regular season for the Bruins, and the tradition of giving away jerseys continued as the B&#039;s literally gave fans the shirts off their backs. Whoever got <strong>Nathan Horton</strong>&#039;s sweater may want to give it a quick wash.
</p>
<p>That&#039;s because Horton engaged in a long, spirited duel with<strong> Zach Smith</strong> in a 3-1 Bruins win over the Senators on Saturday afternoon at the Garden.</p>
<p>To see the fight in its entirety, check out the video above.</p>

<p>Part of what added to the Saturday evening tilt was, well, a couple of tilts.</p>
<p>The hard-hitting affair featured a couple of bouts, with <strong>Andrew Ference</strong> and<strong> Mark Stuart</strong> dropping the gloves and fighting for the Bruins in the losing effort.</p>
<p>Check out those two bruhahas below along with some of the other bone-jarring hits in Saturday night&#039;s installment of &quot;Big Hits.&quot;</p>
