Following a whistle with 1:03 left in the third period, Columbus defenseman Scott Harrington was on his knees just outside the crease when Brad Marchand delivered a punch to the back of his helmet.
After hitting him, Marchand immediately started heading back to the Boston bench.

Columbus head coach John Tortorella showed great restraint when asked about the incident post-game.
Torts: “I am not giving you my thoughts. I don’t need to give any thoughts on that. You guys can come up with something there.” https://t.co/lEqqkxmIwV

The Blue Jackets lead Boston 2-1 and they will play again on Thursday night.
Expect some retaliation.
