Ottawa Senators forward Nick Cousins continues to show everyone just how lacking in courage he is.
After clearly trying to injure young Ivan Demidov and dodging the tough Arber Xhekaj for an entire game, we've now learned that Cousins tried another cheap shot last Saturday night.
To "respect the code," Nick Cousins kept pestering Brendan Gallagher and Alexandre Carrier to fight him.
He avoided Xhekaj and Struble but kept taking cheap shots at players like Gallagher, Carrier, and Lane Hutson - choosing instead to drop the gloves with them.
Unbelievable...
Nick Cousins only wanted to drop the gloves against the smaller Montreal Canadiens players
Maybe he should've thought of that before trying to injure Ivan Demidov!
In the end, Jayden Struble simply didn't give him a choice!
"I asked him, and then I kind of just told him..." - Jayden Struble on fighting Nick Cousins, who challenged Gallagher and Carrier before being told again it would be Struble.
"Said he didn't want to give Cousins credit, but will for answering the bell."

So Cousins challenged the smaller Montreal Canadiens players but ultimately had to answer for his actions against Jayden Struble... and we all know how that ended!
