Fights are normal in the NHL, but not when it is two teammates dropping their gloves at practice. That is what happened ahead of the Buffalo Sabres’ matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday, as captain Rasmus Dahlin and teammate Peyton Krebs were seen duking it out to the point when teammates needed to break things up at a practice early this week. The fight reportedly happened because Krebs accidentally hit Dahlin with a high stick during team drills. Dahlin evened the score during the drill, per WIVB News 4, and head coach Lindy Ruff said the team captain attempted a hip check shortly after on Krebs that escalated things. Dahlin spoke with WIVB News 4 and said that he regretted his actions toward his teammate.
