Boston Bruins winger Brad Marchand has avoided suspension, as the NHL instead fined him for an incident involving Detroit's Niklas Kronwall.
Boston’s Brad Marchand fined $10,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for a dangerous trip on Detroit’s Niklas Kronwall.

The trip occured Tuesday, and can be seen here:
That Marchand won't miss any games is significant, as the Bruins are fighting to stay in the playoff picture. The All-Star sits tied for the sixth-highest points total among all NHL players (47).
Marchand, therefore, will be in the lineup for Thursday's game against Pittsburgh, but with a slightly lighter wallet.
