Two Players Fined By Department Of Player Safety

May 22, 2021 at 11:11 am CDT | by Brian La Rose 5 Comments

After levying an eight-game suspension to Colorado’s Nazem Kadri on Friday night, the Department of Player Safety was busy on Saturday morning, announcing (Twitter links) a pair of fines as Hurricanes center Jordan Staal and Capitals winger Anthony Mantha are both $5K lighter in the wallet.  As always, the money goes to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.

Staal was fined for a trip on Nashville winger Luke Kunin during the second period where his right leg caught the back of Kunin’s left leg, causing him to fall backwards onto the ice.  A minor penalty was assessed on the play.  Meanwhile, Mantha was fined for goaltender interference on Boston’s Tuukka Rask.  The incident occurred in the third period when he skated unimpeded into the crease, colliding with the netminder.  Again, a minor penalty was called.

There was one other incident of note from the Boston-Washington game when a high hit from Dmitry Orlov injured Boston’s Kevan Miller, sending him to the hospital.  NHL.com’s Amalie Benjamin reports (Twitter link) that Miller spent the night in the hospital but has since been charged while Samantha Post of the Washington Post tweets that there will be no supplementary discipline forthcoming for Orlov.

    I believe you mean Samantha Pell and not Samantha Post

    Orlov does his best impersonation of a SAM, launching himself into Miller, going airborne, and, magically, no further penalty.

    “Psst! George! I *know* Tom Wilson!” Wink-wink, nudge-nudge…

    Kevin Miller will annihilate Mr Orlov in a fight next season.

    Those fines are like collecting a quarter from the average hockey fan.

      Maybe for your McDonald’s paycheck, more like $50 for the average hockey fan.
