The New York Islanders fourth line contains Cal Clutterbuck, who has the most hits in NHL history and an astounding 85 hits in 22 games this season, and Matt Martin, who has 81 in 22 games. Matt Martin currently sits top 20 among NHL forward in penalty minutes with nineteen, which is not surprising given that he is one of the last remaining players of his kind throughout the league.
A couple nice fights broke out during last night's NHL games, but one in particular stood out when Matt Martin struck Nashville Predators forward Alexande Carrier hard. Michael McCaron, a 6-foot-7, 230-pound player, stepped in to defend his teammate as he usually does.
