Oxford native Nathan Gerbe is the shortest player in the NHL.
At only 5-feet-4, Gerbe, who is playing for the Columbus Blue Jackets, took on a much taller player in Wednesday night’s game.
Gerbe had a massive hit on Philadelphia Flyer’s captain Claude Giroux near the end of the second period.

After, Grioux’s teammate Travis Sanheim confronted Gerbe, but Gerbe threw the first punch.
Sanheim, who is 6-feet-3, tussled with Gerbe, but was ultimately taken down before any actual punches were thrown.
