Watch: Sharks, Golden Knights get heated in chippy preseason finale
This just in: the Vegas Golden Knights and San Jose Sharks don't like each other very much.
The bad blood between the Pacific Division rivals was on full display in the third period of Sunday's preseason finale, with the two sides engaging in numerous scrums.
Tensions rose when Sharks goalie Aaron Dell gave Mark Stone an elbow as the winger skated by.
The play led to this scuffle:
Evander Kane was ejected shortly after for abusing an official after a mix-up with Deryk Engelland. As the official worked to separate the two players, Kane's stick made contact with the ref, whom he later shoved.
Overall, Sunday's contest featured 114 penalty minutes.
Animosity may have carried over from last season's first-round playoff series, which was decided in seven games after an unfathomable Sharks comeback that featured four goals on a late, controversial power-play opportunity.
It won't be long before the Sharks and Golden Knights renew hostilities, as the two club's face off twice in the opening week of the regular season.
