Penguins' Evgeni Malkin Fined Maximum $5,000 for Slashing Incident

Pittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin has been fined $5,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for slashing Winnipeg Jets forward Logan Stanley during Saturday's 5-2 loss. This marks the 39-year-old's fourth career fine, in addition to two previous suspensions for slashing and cross-checking infractions. Malkin has been productive this season, recording three goals and 18 points in 13 games. The discipline follows his actions during the recent game against the Jets.
