If Marchment gets issued another citation, it will cost him $3,000, a fourth would be $4,000.. If he happens to get five or more citations from the NHL, it'll not only cost him $5,000 each additional time, it'll also cause his head coach to be fined.
The $2,000 that Marchment was fined on Friday will go directly into the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.
