Brad Marchand cross checks Andrew MacDonald to the face

brad marchand cross checks andrew macdonald

It's business as usual for super pest Brad Marchand. With a few seconds left in the second period of the game between the Boston Bruins and the Philadelphia Flyers, Marchand and defenseman Andrew MacDonald engage in a puck battle. MacDonald gets the worst of it and falls awkwardly. Marchand decides to throw in a cross check to his face while he is down.


Marchand was assessed a two minute minor penalty on the play. The league may review this incident further. How many games should Marchand be suspended for this cross check to the face?
