In the first third of the duel, during the fight for the Marchand puck, Ekman-Larsson hit the upper half of the body with his shoulder and at the same time kicked him. His intervention in the match was not punished. For the seventh stop in his career, the Stanley Cup winner and world champion will lose about $ 92,000 (two million crowns) in salary.
Marchand has scored 24 points (9 + 15) in the 18 games of the season so far and is leading team productivity ahead of 18-point Pastrňák and Patric Bergeron.
