Florida Panthers forward Sam Bennett has been fined $5,000 for roughing Pittsburgh Penguins forward Drew O’Connor in a game between the teams on Friday, the NHL’s Department of Player Safety announced Saturday.
The incident occurred at 17:55 of the third period of the game that the Panthers won, 3-2, in a shootout. Bennett was assessed a minor penalty for roughing.
The money from the fine, the maximum allowable under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, goes to the players’ emergency assistance fund.
