Linesman gets caught in the crossfire trying to break up fight

During the first period of last night's preseason game between the Dallas Stars and the Minnesota Wild, a linesman was caught in between two players trying to make a big impression.

Wild forward Brandon Baddock delivered a huge hit on Mitchell Chaffee. The clean hit was called interference, and Baddock was assessed a five-minute major and was challenged to a fight by Jerad Rosburg of the Stars.

Even though Baddock handled Rosburg quite easily in the fight, he also landed a decent punch on the unsuspecting linesman; check it out below:
