Neal Pionk of the Winnipeg Jets has been fined $5,000 for clipping Jesper Boqvist of the Florida Panthers during a recent game, marking the maximum penalty permissible under the collective bargaining agreement.
Pionk received a misconduct penalty after the incident, which occurred while he attempted a hip check. This fine follows a previous $5,000 penalty for cross-checking earlier this year. Currently, Pionk has accumulated 17 points in the ongoing season.
