Leave it to Trent Frederic to provide one of the most entertaining moments of the Boston Bruins' season to date.
The 22-year-old Bruins winger got chippy with New Jersey Devils defenseman P.K. Subban on several occasions during the teams' 2021 NHL season opener.

There will be plenty more opportunities for Frederic and Subban to get familiar, as the Bruins and Devils play six more times this season under the new NHL schedule format.
