In a surprising turn of events, Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby brawled with Buffalo Sabres forward Peyton Krebs during a preseason game. It began when Krebs landed a slow but clean hit on Crosby's teammate Kris Letang.
Crosby, known for his skills rather than his fists, took offense to the hit on Letang and decided to settle the score with a fight. They exchanged punches without a clear winner. Ultimately, Crosby brought Krebs down, ending the scuffle.
While it's unusual to see Crosby, the Penguins' star, in a brawl, it highlights his competitiveness and willingness to defend his teammates, even in preseason.
