When people remark that Filip Forsberg has been doing “everything” for the red-hot Nashville Predators, they probably expect “fighting” to come along about as often as “skate sharpening.”
Still, there he was on Saturday, dropping the gloves with fellow scorer Jake Virtanen of the Vancouver Canucks.
You can watch the video above, whether you’re impressed or bemused (or maybe both).
As far as career fights go, Hockey Fights doesn’t even have a file for Filip Forsberg yet while this was Virtanen’s second of the season.
The fan reactions in this crack me up. #Preds #NSHvsVAN pic.twitter.com/T3F1pjENCd
