New York Islanders forward Mathew Barzal was fined $5,000 on Monday, the maximum allowable under the collective bargaining agreement, for his two-handed slash to Columbus Blue Jackets left wing Mason Marchment.
The NHL's Department of Player Safety made the announcement a day after Columbus' 4-2 victory at Nationwide Arena, in which Marchment was called for a tripping penalty when he dropped New York rookie Matthew Schaefer in the second period in what appeared to be a knee-on-knee hit.
