Senators’ Pageau, Penguins’ Malkin fined after incident Monday – Sportsnet.ca

Pittsburgh Penguins centre Evgeni Malkin has been fined $5,000 for high-sticking Ottawa Senators centre Jean-Gabriel Pageau, who has been slapped with a $2,500 penalty for roughing, following an incident at the end of the two teams’ matchup on Monday.

After Senators winger Brady Tkachuk and Malkin exchanged pleasantries, the two teams came together in a scrum. Just as it looked to be settling down, Pageau swatted Malkin in the face, who responded by swinging his stick and making contact with the Ottawa native’s neck.

Malkin has 38 points in 26 games for the Penguins this season, while Pageau has racked up 29 points in 40 games for the Senators.
