Florida Panthers forward Brad Marchand will neither be fined nor suspended by the NHL for his elbow to the head of Montreal Canadiens defenseman Mike Matheson on Tuesday night.

In overtime, Matheson was taken to the boards by Florida center Sam Bennett. As he played the puck, Matheson was then checked by Marchand, whose right elbow contacted with Matheson's head.

Marchand was given a 2-minute roughing minor penalty at 1:27 of overtime.
