NSD/JFJNEW YORK - Dallas Stars forward Mason Marchment has been fined US$5,000 for interference on Toronto's Jake McCabe after a sequence in Wednesday's game left the Maple Leafs defenceman bloodied.
The play occurred in the second period of Toronto's 5-4 victory when Marchment caught McCabe with a late hit after the blueliner reversed the puck along the boards.
The Leafs were left fuming after the incident, which wasn't penalized by on-ice officials.
Toronto head coach Sheldon Keefe said McCabe required stitches on the bridge of his nose, but commended the player for keeping his cool.
The money from Marchment's fine — the maximum allowable under the collective bargaining agreement — announced Thursday goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.
"I see a vulnerable player that's targeted," Keefe said post-game. "I gotta think that's the type of hit they do not want to see in the game. Guy's bleeding everywhere, needs stitches."
