New York Islanders forward Bo Horvat has been fined $2,500 for unsportsmanlike conduct after flicking the helmet of San Jose Sharks forward William Eklund while he was on the bench. 

The incident occurred at 16:15 of the third period of Sunday’s game.  No penalty was issued on the play. 

Nor was a penalty issued to New York’s Mat Barzal for a head shot on San Jose Sharks leading scorer Macklin Celebrini.  The Isles center delivered a shoulder to Celebrini’s head away from the puck, leaving the forward in visible discomfort on the bench. 

 

 

Celebrini refused to comment on the play after the game.


 

The New York Islanders went on to win the penalty-filled game 2-1 in overtime. Officials for the game were referees Kelly Sutherland (#11) and Graedy Hamilton (#41) with linespersons Brandon Gawryletz (#64) and Shawn Oliver (#66).
