Report: Stars Marchment Avoids Discipline for Referee Slashing Incident

Report: Stars Marchment Avoids Discipline for Referee Slashing Incident image

Dallas Stars forward Mason Marchment won’t face discipline for slashing referee Graham Skilliter during Sunday’s Game 3 win over the Winnipeg Jets, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reports.

The league reviewed the incident, but determined no supplementary discipline was warranted. According to Friedman, it’s ultimately the on-ice official’s decision whether an incident qualifies as abuse of an official, and Skilliter decided this one did not.

The incident occurred when Marchment appeared frustrated with a non-call.

Marchment wasn’t penalized during the game for the slash.

The Stars currently lead the series 2-1 against the Jets.
