Marchand suspended 6 games for roughing, high-sticking Jarry

Boston Bruins star Brad Marchand has been suspended six games for roughing and high-sticking Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry during Tuesday night's contest, the NHL's Department of Player Safety announced.

Marchand got heated late in Tuesday's contest. After being denied on a scoring chance in the final seconds of the third period, Marchand punched Jarry in the head, then soon afterward slammed his stick into the goalie's mask as a scrum broke out.

This marks the second time this season Marchand has been suspended. He received a three-game ban for slew-footing Oliver Ekman-Larsson in November. This is the eighth suspension of his career.

Marchand leads the Bruins with 49 points in 39 games this season.
