Marchand fined $10K for dangerous trip on Kronwall

Boston Bruins winger Brad Marchand has avoided suspension, as the NHL instead fined him for an incident involving 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.
