The NHL has imposed fines on two players for infractions committed during recent games. Philadelphia Flyers forward Matvei Michkov was penalized $2,473.96 for high sticking Los Angeles Kings player Quinton Byfield during a match where the Kings triumphed 5-4 over the Flyers. This incident occurred on Sunday, marking a notable moment in the game that led to Michkov's financial penalty.
In a separate incident, Chicago Blackhawks left winger Pat Maroon received a fine of $3,385.42 for elbowing Dallas Stars forward Mavrik Bourque. This occurred during the Blackhawks' 5-1 defeat to the Stars, also on Sunday. Both fines represent the maximum amounts permitted under the NHL's collective bargaining agreement, reflecting the league's strict enforcement of player conduct and safety regulations.
