It was a battle of the heavyweights during Sunday's game between Arizona and Minnesota, but the fight didn't go as many fans would have expected.

Early on during the first period, Minnesota's Ryan Reaves dropped the mitts with Arizona Coyotes rookie Bokondji Imama and it was the veteran who got the last laugh, literally.

Imama tried to grab onto Reaves' jersey several times, but couldn't and just after the pair reset, the Coyotes rookie takes a wild swing at Reaves, completely missing and then falls to the ice before they were separated by the officials. As they were being separated, you can see Reaves laughing, presumably at the punch Imama tried to throw.
