NHL Player Safety Announces Maximum Amount of Fine Handed Out
The other night, Mikhail Sergachev, of the Lightning, was skating near Michael Bunting, of the Maple Leafs, at center ice. Upon skating next to Bunting, Sergachev decided to give a love tap to Bunting's arm, but it definitely wasn't just a love tap.
There is nothing but skin and bone on that part of the arm, and there isn't padding there either. So, with a solid object, like a stick, a slash like that is going to hurt a lot.
The slash went uncalled in the game, but thanks to video, the NHL Department of Player Safety was able to evaluate what happened and give Sergachev a pretty hefty fine of $5,000.
Don't slash someone over the arm and you won't be losing $5,000...simple as that.
