St. Louis Blues–Philadelphia Flyers brawl

Their matchups are a recurring feature of the NHL schedule, representing a cross-conference rivalry between a team from the Midwestern United States and one from the Eastern United States.

This pairing is historically notable due to a particularly violent incident known as the "Blues–Flyers brawl."

The event is often cited as one of the most severe player-fan-police altercations in hockey history.
