Keith joined the Jets after playing in the 1992 Olympics (one month before his 20th birthday) and had 4 fights in 17 games. Matthew has 2 fights in 61 games this year.
Of course, things have changed a lot in the last 25 years. In 1991-92, 6 teams averaged at least one fight per game, and 21 of 22 teams had at least 50 fights in the season. Last season, Anaheim led the entire NHL with 42 fights.
