Nick Cousins And Jason Zucker Go Toe-To-Two In Heated Tilt

Nick Cousins has gained a reputation as the NHL's most polarizing player, with his style of play and on-ice behavior drawing both attention and criticism.

In tonight's game between the Florida Panthers and the Nashville Predators, Cousins once again found himself in the spotlight as he engaged in a heated altercation with Predators forward Jason Zucker.

The fight erupted right off the draw in the Florida zone, with both players wasting no time in exchanging blows. Despite Zucker hitting the ice, it appeared he landed the more impactful shots.

With Cousins' notorious reputation, it's expected that as the season progresses, he and others will adopt a more aggressive playoff-style approach. Zucker's willingness to confront Cousins may stem from a previous encounter when he played for the Arizona Coyotes.
