Bruins’ Trent Frederic one punches Lane Pederson in quickest fight you’ll see!

The Boston Bruins will always make sure captain Patrice Bergeron is okay. On Thursday night, he was cross-checked by Columbus Blue Jackets’ Lane Pederson in the second period. The Jackets forward was only assessed a minor penalty despite making contact with Bergeron’s face using his stick.

Trent Frederic came to his captain’s defense later on in the game and dropped the gloves in Pederson.

The Bruins’ forward needed only one powerful punch to knock Pederson down to the ice.

This is the quickest NHL fight you’ll see.

What a bomb!

This fight was Frederic’s seventh of the year, which is tied for the fifth-most among all players.
