Video: Huge Blows as Ryan Reaves & Kyle Clifford Drop The Gloves

The St Louis Blues and Vegas Golden Knights battled it out on Wednesday night and half way through the first period things got heated. Blues forward Kyle Clifford came in on the forecheck and laid a hit and that sent off Golden Knights forward Ryan Reaves as he made sure to make Clifford pay.

Vegas was down 2-0 at the time after a couple of early goals from the Blues so good on Reaves for trying to spark his team and build some momentum back. While he certainly got the upper hand during the tilt, the momentum aspect didn't work out as the Blues ended up hanging on.

Much like Clifford in this clip, just trying to hang on:
