Carolina Hurricanes forward Jackson Blake was fined $2,358.94 on Friday for slashing Anaheim Ducks defenseman Jacob Trouba.
The fine issued by the NHL's Department Player of Safety was the maximum allowable under the collective bargaining agreement.
The incident occurred midway through the third period in the Hurricanes' 4-1 win at Anaheim on Thursday night. Blake drew a two-minute minor for slashing.
Blake, 22, signed an eight-year, $45 million extension in July. The 2021 fourth-round pick has one goal, three assists and six penalty minutes in four games this season.
