NEW YORK — Winnipeg Jets defenceman Neal Pionk has been fined US$5,000 by the NHL for clipping Florida Panthers forward Jesper Boqvist.

The offence took place at 14:36 of the third period in Winnipeg’s 5-0 loss to Florida on Saturday.

Boqvist was in the Jets’ zone and wrapped a pass around Pionk to teammate Anton Lundell.

The moment the puck came off his stick, Pionk hipchecked Boqvist, whose body spun in midair before hitting the ice.
