Boston Bruins' Brad Marchand faces hearing, possible ban

Brad Marchand has been offered an in-person hearing (via Zoom) with NHL Player Safety for roughing and high-sticking against Pittsburgh Penguins' goaltender Tristan Jarry.

The date and time of that meeting is yet to be announced. Because it's in-person, any suspension levied could be five games or more. Marchand was already banned three games this season for slew footing Oliver Ekman-Larsson and has been suspended seven times total in his career.

The incident in question occurred during Tuesday's game between Boston and Pittsburgh. The Bruins were trailing by two with less than a minute to play in regulation, and Jarry had just smothered a puck.
