New York Rangers defenceman Jacob Trouba took accountability for his high-stick swing at the head of Boston Bruins forward Trent Frederic on Saturday when speaking to reporters Monday.
“It was an accident, Frederic and I were both surprised, but it can’t happen,” said the Rangers captain.
Trouba was fined $5,000 for the incident by the NHL’s Department of Player Safety within hours of it happening, the maximum allowable under the CBA.
The veteran went on to say he saw a video of his actions and accepted the league’s punishment.
“I have to control my posture and stick. I deserved the fine.”
New York and its captain will be back in action on Monday night as the Rangers host the Buffalo Sabres.
