Stars Mix It Up in Pittsburgh

The Penguins and Blue Jackets fought it out in Pittsburgh last night.  There were five fights altogether and the game was capped off with stars Rick Nash and Evgeni Malkin dropping the gloves and throwing punches.

It’s rare to see a superstar fight in the regular season, and even rarer during the preseason, when the games are supposed to mean nothing to those who have already secured a roster spot.  Back-to-back games and hard hits can change that, and both teams were clearly ready to play a physical game.
