Montreal Canadiens defenseman Shea Weber has been fined $5,000 for slashing Tampa Bay Lightning forward Nikita Kucherov.
The chop came with 3:28 remaining in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Bolts and the Habs, with Tampa already on the power play.
No penalty was called on the play by referees Dan O’Rourke and Francis Charron.
Tampa, leading 4-1 at the time, tacked on a late goal to win 5-1 and take a one-game lead in their best-of-seven.
