SAN JOSE, Calif — Corey Perry can get under opponents' skin but crossing the line to try and even the score won't be tolerated by the NHL's Department of Player Safety.
Winnipeg Jets blue-liner Ben Chiarot found that out today.
Chiarot was fined US$3,763.44, the maximum allowable under the NHL's collective bargaining agreement, for butt-ending the Anaheim Ducks forward Friday afternoon.
The money goes to the NHL Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.
