Brandon Duhaime is one of the best fighters the Minnesota Wild has but he found himself on the wrong side of a Kyle Burroughs right hand Thursday night.
Just over two minutes into the third period, Duhaime and Burroughs dropped gloves and the spirited contest ended when Burroughs caught Duhaime on the jaw with a nasty right hand that dropped the Wild forward.
A Vancouver fan with front row seats got the fight on video for an unbelievable view of the knockout punch.

Duhaime initially went to the penalty box to serve his five for fighting, but then he was pulled from the box for a concussion evaluation. Head coach Dean Evason said after the game that he saw Duhaime in the locker room and that he seemed fine, though he would be re-evaluated on Friday.
