Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Conor Timmins has been fined $2,864, the highest amount allowed under the player's collective agreement, for the cross-checking penalty during his first shift of the game. Timmins cross-checked Kraken forward Brandon Tanev behind the Leafs' net.
The resulting on-ice brawl led to Tanev getting a two-minute penalty for roughing, Timmins receiving a two-minute penalty for cross-checking, and Leafs' defenseman Simon Benoit also getting a two-minute penalty for roughing. This handed the Kraken an early powerplay.
Despite the penalties and the physical play, Toronto won the game 3-1, a much-needed victory as they had lost five of their previous six games, including a 6-4 defeat in Vancouver on Saturday.
