Artemi Panarin Fined $5k For Throwing Glove At Boston Bruins’ Brad Marchand

Brad Marchand is known for getting on the nerve of his opponents on the ice. Maybe that extends to the benches too. He threw one of his gloves at Marchand as the two were on their respective benches. Marchand was also given a misconduct penalty.

The two players were standing near the ends of their benches yelling at each other. Meanwhile, Panarin slipped off his left glove and aimed it with his bare hand. Hitting Marchand in the side.

The Bruins winger raised his arm in defense. “That one caught me off guard a little bit. I’ve had a lot of things thrown at me, but not particularly by players,” Marchand said after the game.

New York Rangers forward Artemi Panarin has been fined $5,000 for throwing one of his gloves at Boston Bruins winger Brad Marchand.

The NHL announced the punishment on Saturday. The fine is the maximum allowed under the league’s collective bargaining agreement with the players’ union. Panarin and Marchand were standing in front of their respective benches when the glove-throwing episode occurred during the third period of New York’s 5-2 victory at Boston on Friday.

With 12 seconds left in Friday’s game, both the players were assessed with a misconduct penalty. Panarin had a goal and an assist in the win against the Bruins. He has five goals and 16 assists in 20 games this season.
