Thursday's action across the National Hockey League brought several fiery moments, but during Boston's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, Bruins forward Trent Frederic one-punched Lane Pederson during a fight.

The fight occurred during the middle frame of Thursday's game and it was clearly in response to Pederson's cross-check to Bruins captain Patrick Bergeron, which happened just a few minutes before he dropped the mitts with Frederic.

Check out the Frederic's one-punch in the video below!

Pederson's night came to an end early as he appeared dizzy when getting up and didn't return for the third period. Both players received five-minutes each for fighting on the play.
