Mason Marchment Fined For Roughing

San Jose’s Mason Marchment has been fined $5,000 for roughing, the maximum amount allowable, the NHL’s Department of Player Safety announced. Last night the power forward got into a scrap with New York’s Victor Eklund. It wasn’t unwarranted, as the Islander delivered a questionable hit into the boards of Kiefer Sherwood, but the league determined Marchment’s retaliatory actions crossed the line. Fined for interference back in 2024, the 31-year-old mostly has a clean history

for somebody who averages 70 penalty minutes at an 82-game pace across his career. Scoring four goals in 20 games so far, his Sharks notched a shootout win last night as they look to claw their way out of a slow start compared to expectations.
