The New Jersey Devils are taking on the Ottawa Senators tonight and Brady Tkachuk is up to his old tricks getting under the skin of the entire Devils squad doing what he does best.

Just over halfway into the first period, Tkachuk and Devils forward Miles wood exchange words after Tkachuk tries to take a run at a Devils player and misses leading to this, take a look:

Wood issues a challenge to Tkachuk and while he seems rather amused by the idea, you know he's not a player to turn down a fight.

Moments later, the two players drop the gloves and Wood learns why you never mess with Tkachuk winning rather convincingly and earning the takedown to end things as well.

Tkachuk is such a throwback type of player, never afraid of a challenge, even enjoying himself as he fights, never without a smile on his face. He's a player you hate to play against, but love to have on your team.
