They’ve missed the playoffs a league-leading 13 consecutive seasons and are looking to <a href="https://www.si.com/onsi/breakaway/news-feed-page/atlantic-sleepers-buffalo-sabres-playoff-drought-ends" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> break that drought this year. </a> While the team has the skill and ability to reach the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Sabres have gotten off to an ice-cold start. They lost their first three contests, likely forcing tensions to rise within the locker room. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> Despite their first win of the season coming over the reigning Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers, those tensions may have spilled onto the ice. During a practice, Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin and young forward Peyton Krebs needed to be separated by teammates after a fight broke out between the two. In a video posted to Twitter by News 4 Buffalo’s Sara Holland, Dahlin laid out Krebs with a huge open ice hit and the two quickly engaged in a scrap. Punches were thrown from both players before teammates stepped in to break things up. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> Here’s the scrum that just went on in practice between Rasmus Dahlin and Peyton Krebs. Looks like they collided at full speed during a drill. Teammates broke it up right away. <a href="https://t.co/bPAPnRnNvd" rel="nofollow"> pic.twitter.com/bPAPnRnNvd </a> — Sara Holland (@SaraaHolland) <a href="https://twitter.com/SaraaHolland/status/1845845970807886280?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow"> October 14, 2024 </a></blockquote><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script> The hit from Dahlin wasn’t a small bump in the middle of the ice, either. At full speed, Dahlin lowered his hips into Krebs as he received a breakout pass. Hollan later noted that head coach Lindy Ruff isn’t going to look too deep into the scuffle. Ruff said Dahlin took a hit earlier in practice and was looking to “even the score.” Regardless of practice shenanigans, it’s not normal to see your <a href="https://www.si.com/onsi/breakaway/news-feed-page/buffalo-sabres-name-star-rasmus-dahlin-captain" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> newly minted captain </a> throw punches at a teammate in practice. Sure, there is a ton of pressure to succeed and the Sabres haven’t gotten off to the right start, but this felt out of the ordinary. If the scrap wakes the Sabres up and they find a rhythm, maybe they look back at it as the necessary moment that turned things around. The Sabres are the <a href="https://www.si.com/onsi/breakaway/news-feed-page/buffalo-sabres-enter-season-nhl-youngest-roster" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> youngest team </a> in the NHL and have a ton to prove this year. If success doesn't follow, there could be some big changes coming. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><a href="https://www.si.com/onsi/breakaway/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Make sure you bookmark Breakaway OnSI for the latest news, exclusive interviews, recruiting coverage, and more! </a><ul><li><a href="https://www.si.com/onsi/breakaway/news-feed-page/columbus-blue-jackets-host-guest-guy-gaudreau-emotional-home-opener" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Blue Jackets Host Special Guest Before Emotional Home Opener </a></li><li><a href="https://www.si.com/onsi/breakaway/news-feed-page/pressure-building-pittsburgh-penguins-goalie-tristan-jarry" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Pressure Building for Penguins Goalie Tristan Jarry </a></li><li><a href="https://www.si.com/onsi/breakaway/news-feed-page/lessons-learned-nhl-first-weekend-2024" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> 3 Lessons Learned From NHL's First Weekend </a></li><li><a href="https://www.si.com/onsi/breakaway/news-feed-page/calgary-flames-shocking-nhl-early-success" rel="nofollow"> Flames Shocking NHL With Early Success </a></li><li><a href="https://www.si.com/onsi/breakaway/news-feed-page/analyst-blasts-edmonton-oilers-poor-start-0-3" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Analyst Blasts Oilers After Poor Start </a></li></ul> This article was originally published on www.si.com/onsi/breakaway as <a href="https://www.si.com/onsi/breakaway/news-feed-page/buffalo-sabres-rasmus-dahlin-fights-peyton-krebs-practice?utm_source=RSS" rel="nofollow"> Watch: Sabres Captain Fights Teammate at Practice </a> . </div></body>
