Philadelphia Flyers’ Matvei Michkov Chicago Blackhawks Patrick Maroon given maximum allowable fine
Philadelphia Flyers forward Matvei Michkov has been fined $2,473.96, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for high-sticking Quinton Byfield of the Los Angeles Kings, the Department of Player Safety announced on Monday.
Just after 11 minutes into the third period into the game between the Kings and Flyers on Sunday, Michkov and Byfield were given each given minor penalties after getting tangled up in the neutral zone. Byfield received a roughing penalty, while Michkov was penalized for high-sticking after swinging his stick and striking Byfield in the head after the two were separated.
Michkov has been at odds with head coach John Tortorella throughout the campaign, including when he was benched for the third period in Philadelphia’s 3-1 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Friday.
Still, the fiery rookie is putting together a Calder-level campaign in his first season in the NHL, as he has 12 goals (tied for the most among rookies with Macklin Celebrini) and 29 points (leads all rookies) through 35 games.
Veteran forward Patrick Maroon was also fined by the Department of Player Safety on Monday. He received a $3,385.42 fine, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for elbowing the Dallas Stars‘ Mavrik Bourque.
The incident occurred at 15:37 of the third period, and Maroon was assessed a minor penalty for roughing on the play.
Maroon, 36, has one goal and nine points in 34 games for Chicago,m his first with the team. The three-time Stanley Cup winner is in his 14th campaign in the NHL.
The Philadelphia Flyers’ Matvei Michkov and Chicago Blackhawks’ Patrick Maroon have both been hit with the maximum allowable fine for their on-ice altercation during their recent game.The incident occurred late in the third period when Michkov and Maroon got into a heated exchange, resulting in both players being assessed penalties. Following a review of the incident, the league has decided to hand down the maximum fine to both players for their actions.
This serves as a reminder that the NHL takes player conduct seriously and will not tolerate any behavior that puts the safety of others at risk. Both Michkov and Maroon will need to pay the fine and also face potential disciplinary action from their respective teams.
Let this be a lesson to all players that actions have consequences, and it is important to always conduct oneself with respect and sportsmanship on and off the ice.
