Evgeni Malkin vs. Rick Nash Fight Video

Filed under: Blue Jackets, Penguins, NHL Fights, NHL Videos

There's been quite a shift in the makeup of the Pittsburgh Penguins over the past decade or so. In the late 1990's and early 2000's they were loaded with skill and had little in the way of intimidating figures. This year's club, however, is packed with love 'em or hate 'em players, such as Matt Cooke, Arron Asham, Craig Adams, Mike Rupp, Eric Godard, Max Talbot and Brooks Orpik.

The toughness and grit those players provide seems to have started to rub off on the star players, as Saturday's preseason game against Columbus -- a 3-1 Penguins win -- saw Evgeni Malkin drop the gloves and throw down with Blue Jackets captain Rick Nash late in the third period. It was the fifth fight of the night, including a pair that involved swift-skating defenseman Kris Letang.

Here's the video of Malkin vs. Nash...
