Sharks Forward Fined For Roughing

San Jose Sharks forward Mason Marchment has been fined $5,000, the maximum allowed under the current collective bargaining agreement, the NHL’s Department of Player Safety announced on Tuesday morning.

At 8:52 in the third period of the Sharks’ game against the New York Islanders on Monday night, Marchment was awarded a double-minor penalty for roughing Islanders rookie Victor Eklund.

After Eklund threw a dangerous hit on Kiefer Sherwood, which was reviewed for a five-minute major but eventually it was ruled that was no penalty on the play, Marchment hit Eklund will multiple ungloved upper-cuts.

The money from Marchment’s fine goes toward the Players’ Emergency Relief Fund.
