Buffalo Sabres defenseman Marco Scandella has been fined $5,000, the maximum allowed under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, for slashing Pittsburgh Penguins forward Patric Hornqvist, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced on Wednesday.
The slashing occurred midway through the second period of Tuesday night’s game between Buffalo and Pittsburgh which resulted in Scandella receiving a two-minute minor for slashing and Hornqvist receiving a minor for interference on Scandella on the same play.
