The NHL has fined Edmonton defenceman Jake Walman a total of US$10,000 for his role in two separate incidents in the Oilers’ 6-1 loss to the Florida Panthers in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup final.
Walman was fined $5,000 for roughing after he punched Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk in a scrum in front of the Oilers’ goal at 14:44 of the third period of Monday’s game.
Walman was assessed a pair of minor penalties for roughing and a minor penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.
He was also fined $5,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct after he attempted to squirt water at Panthers players on their bench from his place on the visiting side.
