Brad Marchand, known for his abrasive playing style, has faced harsh penalties from the league in the past. After a controversial hit on Michael McLeod, many anticipated that the league would make an example of Marchand as the playoffs approached.
This decision comes as a significant boost for the Bruins, who are on track to break an all-time NHL record for wins in a season. Having Marchand on the bench rather than in the press box will undoubtedly be beneficial.
