The NHL has imposed a fine of $2,018.23 on Boston Bruins rookie defenseman Michael Callahan for crosschecking Anaheim Ducks forward Jansen Harkins during a recent game that ended in a 6-2 victory for the Ducks. This fine, the maximum permissible under the collective bargaining agreement, will be allocated to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.

The incident took place late in the second period when Callahan received a double-minor penalty for high-sticking, marking his first penalty minutes of the season. The game also featured both players receiving fighting penalties as they clashed again in the third period. Callahan, having appeared in 14 games without scoring any points, currently holds a minus-4 rating with 11 blocked shots and five hits, averaging just over 13 minutes of ice time.
