Nashville Predators players fight each other during practice as team continues to spiral out of control

The Nashville Predators have had a very active offseason, signing big names like Steven Stamkos, Brady Skjei, and Jonathan Marchessault. To date, the results have not lived up to expectations.

Even with the addition of star players to an already-stellar core including Filip Forsberg, Roman Josi, and Juuse Saros, the team has struggled out of the gate, posting a dreadful 6-11-3 record, even worse than the Pittsburgh Penguins, who everyone knows have also been through a terrible start to the season.

Frustrations are boiling over. Team reporter Alex Daugherty witnessed a practice scuffle between Michael McCarron and Luke Evangelista on Friday. It unfolded toward the end of practice during a 2-on-2 drill.

After a big hit, the two were separated following a shoving match and argument that included very heated words being exchanged. While not too terribly dramatic, according to Daugherty, Evangelista was visibly upset.

The tension remained high even after practice had ended. Though both players simply skated away after the incident, reports had it that they continued to exchange sharp words before leaving the ice.

McCarron kept mum as he was out of practice, while Evangelista expressed regret later over the confrontation, knowing the incident wasn't ideal.
