Teams might want to stop hurting Patrice Bergeron.
Blue Jackets forward Lane Pederson was the latest player to learn that lesson the hard way on Thursday night.
Less than three minutes after getting sent to the sin bin for cross-checking Bergeron in the face, Pederson had to answer for his on-ice infraction by dropping the gloves with Trent Frederic.
And before Pederson even managed to grab the Bruins’ bruiser, Frederic dropped him to the ice with a single pop to the jaw.
Frederic made quick work of Pederson, who arguably should have been off the ice for much longer after initially getting whistled for a five-minute major.
