The NHL Department of Player Safety has fined Jacob Trouba of the New York Rangers for slashing Vince Dunn of the St. Louis Blues Saturday night. He will forfeit $5000 as a result, the maximum amount allowable under the current collective bargaining agreement.
-
The slashes--there were several of them, as you can see in the replay below--resulted in Trouba and Dunn throwing hands right at the end of the third period of Saturday's game. Trouba was assessed a major penalty and game misconduct on the play. The 25-year-old has six goals and 15 assists over 44 games in 2019-20, his first season with New York.
