NEW YORK, N.Y. - Vancouver Canucks forward Jannik Hansen has been fined $2,000 for embellishment during the game against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The NHL announced the fine on Thursday.

His second citation, which triggered the fine, came when Hansen was assessed a minor penalty for embellishment at 10:15 of the third period in the Canucks' 2-1 win on Dec. 22.

Tampa Bay defenceman Nikita Nesterov received an interference minor on the play.
