Bruins' Marchand ejected for spearing Lightning's Dotchin

Unfortunately for the Boston Bruins, Brad Marchand is up to his old tricks.

With his team looking to secure its first playoff spot in three seasons, Marchand - who's become an elite offensive winger - was assessed a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct for a spear to the midsection on Tampa Bay's Jake Dotchin on Tuesday.

Given Marchand's history of high jinks, NHL Department of Player Safety may give this another look, with the Bruins having only two games remaining at the conclusion of the tilt with the Lightning.
