In fact, as noted above, this fan account is calling the interaction between Bennett and Marchand a sucker punch they're definitely should've been a penalty on the play, but I don't know that I'd go that far, even though the glove does make contact with his face. Given his reputation it wouldn't be surprising if the officials thought Marchand dove.
I find it funny that the Boston media and their fans get on players and fans of other teams for complaining about the officials and yet now they're doing the same exact thing. Depending on who you talk to, they would say it's playoff hockey suck it up.
You never want to see a player go down especially if it's a player of importance like Marchand, but I don't think there should be A suspension on this play.
On the other hand, I'm sure some will say Marchand's reputation proceeds and he deserves everything that he got.
