Tim Gleason has dropped the gloves in each of his past two games. He took on Buffalo's Steve Ott last Friday after Ott took a run at sophomore defesenman Justin Faulk and he battled Boston's Milan Lucic on Monday to try to wake his team up from a slow start. In both instances, Gleason displayed leadership and character that didn't go unnoticed by his teammates. The physical blueliner has nine hits and 24 penalty minutes in five games this season.
