Colorado Avalanche defenceman Samuel Girard has been fined $1,957.89, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for boarding Chicago Blackhawks forward Alex DeBrincat. 

Girard hit DeBrincat into the boards late in the third period of the Avs' 4-1 win over the Blackhawks on Wednesday night. The hit went unpenalized on the ice.  

In 34 games this season, Girard has one goal and 12 points. He signed a seven-year, $35 million extension with the Avs on July 31.
