The Toronto Maple Leafs decided to travel to St. Louis one day before their Tuesday matchup against the Blues, and it was a costly move.
The NHL announced Wednesday that it fined the Maple Leafs $100,000 for traveling to St. Louis on Monday.
Chris Johnston of TSN Hockey explained the collective bargaining agreement between the league and the NHL Players' Association states there are to be no team activities from Dec. 23-26 during the holiday season.
Since Monday was Dec. 26, the Maple Leafs violated the stipulation.
The NHL also announced it fined Toronto head coach Sheldon Keefe $25,000 for "demeaning conduct directed at the officials" during the contest against the Blues.
