Holloway was subjected to a forceful hit by Dunn in the third period while the Oilers were behind 4-1. This hit, aimed high at Holloway's shoulders, propelled him into the end boards, causing him to momentarily slump on the ground. However, he quickly recovered and rejoined the play.
As the game continued, Dunn aggressively pursued Holloway, delivering several cross checks behind the net. The situation escalated when Holloway grabbed Dunn's helmet from behind, attempting to remove it, leading to a full-scale brawl.
Despite this altercation, the Oilers emerged victorious with a 4-1 win, marking their first win since October 29. Holloway notably scored a goal and received a few jabs to the face during the game.
