Unfortunately for hockey fans, not all rivals play in the same conference like Alexander Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby.
That being said, because Auston Matthews and Patrik Laine play in different conferences, every game between the two feels that much bigger.
Tuesday night, round two between the first and second overall picks from the 2016 draft went down at the ACC and it was just as incredible as the first matchup as the Leafs won 5-4 in overtime.
Matthews finished the game with three assists while Laine score two goals to bring his season total to 30, and after the game, the internet was buzzing about thriller of a game.
