The NHL's Department of Player Safety has fined Nashville Predators forward Tanner Jeannot $2,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for kneeing Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk

The incident happened at 1:22 of the third period. Jeannot was given a two-minute minor penalty for tripping while Tkachuk remained in the game. Both players recorded a goal in last night's contest as the Predators skated away with a 4-1 victory. 

Jeannot, 24, leads all rookies with 23 goals and is fifth in points (40) in 66 games this season.
