More than three decades after squaring off in a Blackhawks versus North Stars game in the 1980s, Denis Savard and Dino Ciccarelli dropped the gloves once again during Saturday’s Stadium Series Alumni game in Minnesota.
Watch the two NHL Hall of Famers go at it during Minnesota’s 6-4 win.

Fights between the two former rivals weren’t uncommon while those two roamed the ice. In one heated 1983 game, Savard and Ciccarelli went at it.
According to HockeyFights.com, it was one of six fights between the two teams in that game alone.
