Marchand avoids suspension for questionable hit on Tavares

Boston Bruins forward Brad Marchand will not have a hearing for a hit on John Tavares of the New York Islanders, the NHL confirmed to Arthur Staple of Newsday.

"I'm fine," Tavares said after the game, according to Staple. "I think the video speaks for itself on that one. Don't have much else to say."

Marchand was assessed a major penalty for interference for the late, high hit, and the NHL appears to have deemed that sufficient time served.
