After clip by Nick Foligno, Leafs’ Dion Phaneuf responds with fisticuffs (Fight Video)

Here's an incredibly topical situation: seven minutes into the second period of Tuesday's tilt between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators, Nick Foligno clipped Dion Phaneuf, getting low to duck a hit along the boards.
