The fine is the maximum allowable under the collective bargaining agreement.

The money goes to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.

The Canadiens are 10-2-1 over their last 13 games and sit two points back of the Columbus Blue Jackets with a game in hand for the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.
