Sokolowski-USA TODAY Sports The NHL on Sunday fined Boston Bruins defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk $2,734.38 — the maximum allowed for unsportsmanlike conduct under the collective bargaining agreement.
Shattenkirk was not penalized for his action with 19:37 left in the first period of the Bruins' 6-4 victory over the host Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night. The Penguins' Michael Bunting had made contact with the Bruins' Linus Ullmark, his stick catching the goaltender's skates and causing him to fall over.
Bunting then skated past the Boston bench, where Shattenkirk apparently reached out with his stick and hit Bunting with it.
The league's Department of Player Safety announced the fine, with the money goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.
Shattenkirk scored one goal and Bunting had one goal and one assist in the game, with Ullmark (28 saves) earning the win.
