Brad Marchand’s paycheck just took another hit, albeit a small one. The NHL’s Department of Player Safety announced Monday that the Boston Bruins winger has been fined $ 5,000 for cross-checking Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Andrew MacDonald in the second period of Sunday’s game at Wells Fargo Center. This is the second time in a month Marchand has been fined, as the All-Star forward was docked $ 2,000 for embellishment in early March. Marchand also was suspended for five games back in January for elbowing New Jersey Devils forward Marcus Johansson. MacDonald appeared to get away with a cross-check on Marchand in Sunday’s game, which ... NESN.com

Red Sox Notes: Andrew Benintendi’s Insane Catch Was Years In The Making
The legend of Andrew Benintendi is growing by the day.

The Red Sox’s 8-5 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday — their fourth defeat in six games — overshadowed a game to remember by rookie outfielder Andrew Benintendi. Benintendi was a one-man offensive wrecking crew in just his third major league start, going 3-for-4 while recording a trio of promising firsts. The 22-year-old got things started early, driving a low fastball the other way in the third inning for his first hit and getting a great jump on Dodgers pitcher Brandon McCarthy for his first career steal. Benintendi pulled the ball in his next at-bat, lacing a two-out single
