SAN JOSE \u2013 Sharks forward Mason Marchment was fined $5,000 by the NHL\u2019s Department of Player Safety on Tuesday for roughing forward Victor Eklund in the third period of the previous night\u2019s game against the New York Islanders.<\/p>\n
Marchment went after Eklund, landing a couple of uppercuts after what he believed was an illegal hit by the Islanders winger on the Sharks\u2019 Kiefer Sherwood.<\/p>\n
Instead, Marchment received a double minor at 8:52 of the third period, while Eklund was not penalized.<\/p>\n
With the game tied, Marchment\u2019s penalties put the Sharks on a penalty kill until forwards Barclay Goodrow and Zack Ostapchuk both drew penalties at 10:45 of the third period to give San Jose a 4-on-3 power play.<\/p>\n
But neither team scored before the end of regulation time, and in overtime, rookie winger Ivar Stenberg scored in the eighth round of the shootout to give the Sharks a 3-2 win.<\/p>\n
Marchment said he was a bit surprised to be the only one penalized after the review.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought it was pretty dirty,\u201d Marchment said of Eklund\u2019s hit. \u201cI didn\u2019t really want to do anything about it too much like that, but I thought he dropped his stuff, so I dropped mine, and ended up getting the four. So, just stick up for a teammate. (Sherwood) would do the same thing for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
The win snapped the Sharks\u2019 five-game losing streak. They finish their two-game homestand on Wednesday against Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN JOSE \u2013 Sharks forward Mason Marchment was fined $5,000 by the NHL\u2019s Department of Player Safety on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":525285,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[404,88,90,89,98,127],"class_list":["post-525284","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-jose","tag-nhl","tag-san-jose","tag-san-jose-headlines","tag-san-jose-news","tag-san-jose-sharks","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525284","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=525284"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525284\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/525285"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=525284"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=525284"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=525284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
