BREAKING NEWS: Maple Leafs defenseman has been fined by the NHL for cross-check on Kraken’s Tanev.

The long arm of the National Hockey League law came down on Conor Timmins on Monday. 

Not heavily, mind you.

The Maple Leafs defenceman was fined for cross-checking forward Brandon Tanev of the Seattle Kraken during the first period of the game between the clubs on Sunday night in Seattle.

Timmins was fined $2,864.58, the maximum allowable under the CBA, by the NHL’s department of player safety. The money goes to the players’ emergency assistance fund.

 

Timmins was assessed a minor penalty on the play, which resulted in Tanev falling into the end boards behind the Leafs net. Tanev was not happy about it, and wound up with a roughing minor when he tried to get at Timmins in the scrum that followed.

 

The Leafs won 3-1, ending a four-game trip with two wins and two losses.
