Bruins' Brad Marchand: Won't face NHL discipline

Marchand is not in line to face any discipline from the NHL for a tripping play on Anton Stralman that went uncalled during Tuesday's win over the Lightning, Joe Haggerty of CSN New England reports.

Analysis:

Marchand's suspension history -- not to mention the fact that he recently had a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety regarding a "dangerous tripping" play that occurred Jan. 24 -- makes this nugget worth noting. While relentlessly continuing to play a close-to-the-edge style, Marchand is on pace for a career season. Through 53 games, he leads the Bruins with 51 points, and he's currently in the midst of a hot streak, having notched two points in three straight contests.
