Noel Acciari is not afraid to drop the gloves.
The Bruins forward went at it with Canucks’ Bo Horvat in the second period of Boston’s Saturday night game against Vancouver at Rogers Arena. Horvat steamrolled Joakim Nordstrom and Acciari immediately tangled himself up with the center.
The two exchanged blows, but Acciari looked to take the worst of it before they hit the ice.

It was Acciari’s first fighting major of the season, which prompted him to be absent from the B’s bench for quite some time. However, he emerged from the locker room after getting a gash under his left eye cleaned up.
