The fight between a man in an Under Armor sweatshirt and the other in a Carl Hagelin Penguins jersey appeared to take place in the lower bowl of the arena.

Thankfully, the fight was stopped by an off-duty Pittsburgh Police Officer who happened to be in attendance near the brawl.

The officer flashed his badge and the man in the Hagelin jersey quickly released who the officer, put his arms up and was escorted up the stairs by the officer and arena staff.

It appears no one was seriously injured in the fight that happened at the Tuesday night hockey game.

No word on what started the fight.

The Penguins lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-1.
