On-ice drama has sparked within the Boston Bruins roster during training camp, as things got heated after Nikita Zadorov leveled his own teammate.

During training camp last week, an unexpected altercation erupted within the Boston Bruins' roster, as Nikita Zadorov and his teammate, Riley Tufte, underwent on-ice drama.

Altercation surfaces between Boston Bruins' Nikita Zadorov and Riley Tufte

This was ultimately unveiled by a recent post on social media, via «X», as someone reported the altercation.
Take a look:
«Zadorov levels Tufte in the neutral zone. Tufte responds with a hit on Zadorov in the d-zone about 10 seconds later.»
This isn't the first time Zadorov has been involved in a questionable scenario with a teammate, as this defenseman caused issues within the locker room last campaign with net-minder, Jeremy Swayman, for his comments.
During the 2024/25 NHL season, Nikita Zadorov was speculated to not be fond of Jeremy Swayman due to his postgame interview back in March.
Following this incident, Nikita Zadorov later met with the media to clear the air regarding his previous interview where he refused to comment on Jeremy Swayman.
