Boughner had both arms up when he pushed Brind'Amour into the boards late in the second period. He received a major penalty for boarding and a game misconduct,
Brind'Amour, acquired from Philadelphia on Jan. 23, has four goals and nine assists in 31 games for Carolina. Boughner came to the Penguins on March 13 from Nashville.
