VIDEO: Forsberg comes to defense of Ribeiro, eats punches from Virtanen

With the promise of increased minutes since his promotion to the top line with the Sedin twins, Jake Virtanen jumped at the opportunity to exchange punches with the skilled Filip Forsberg just moments into Saturday's clash.

Virtanen landed a flurry of unanswered blows on the unlikely aggressor, handing the second-year Nashville Predators forward a loss in the first official bout of his career.
