Matt Martin’s Fighting Ability

Fans have placed less and less emphasis on the fighting aspect of the game since the Isles began seriously contending in 2012-13, but a Matt Martin tussle once-in-a-while is greatly appreciated. He’s had some nice bouts as an Islander.

Also, he’s got a pretty hot girlfriend.
