Marchand’s punch wasn’t forceful enough to qualify for a suspension or fine, according to a person familiar with the decisions of the NHL’s Department of Player Safety.
Brad Marchand earned the ire of Blue Jackets fans Tuesday night. By Isabelle Khurshudyan Isabelle Khurshudyan Reporter covering the Washington Capitals Email Bio Follow May 1 at 11:24 AM Boston Bruins forward Brad Marchand will not face any supplemental discipline from the NHL’s Department of Player Safety for punching the back of Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Scott Harrington’s head, according to a person familiar with the situation.
More concerning for the Bruins is the evident frustration from one of their star players. The Blue Jackets now have a 2-1 series lead, and Marchand, who’s coming off the first 100-point season of his career, doesn’t have a point in these three games against Columbus. Star center Patrice Bergeron has been similarly kept off the score sheet. The Blue Jackets swept the Presidents’ Trophy-winning Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round by similarly shutting down Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos.
