The Pittsburgh Penguins and Boston Bruins both saw key players get hit with fines following their meeting on Black Friday.
The Pittsburgh Penguins walked away as winners over the Boston Bruins, but not before things got chippy between the two teams. Late in the opening period, Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin and Bruins defenseman Nikita Zadorov were given penalties for unnecessary stick infractions.
The NHL Department of Player Safety fined the Penguins and Bruins skaters $5,000, the maximum allowable under the collective bargaining agreement. Malkin was finedWhile Malkin was standing by the Bruins' bench during gameplay, Zadorov poked at Malkin from the bench. Malkin retaliated by wildly swinging his stick at Bruins players, striking Mason Lorhei.
Malkin was initially given a slashing penalty, which was upheld, but an official review deemed Zadorov was also guilty of unsportsmanlike conduc, by interfering with an opposing player while on the bench. The Bruins were leading 1-0 at the time of the infractions, but the Penguins rallied back to win 2-1. Malkin assisted on the game-winning goal by Philip Tomasino. The tally was Tomasino’s first goal with the Penguins
Zadorov was on the ice for Rickard Rakell’s game-tying goal in the final second of the second period.
