The NHL’s Department of Player Safety fined Vancouver Canucks defenceman Tyler Myers and Utah Mammoth defenceman Ian Cole $2,500 each for infractions on Saturday.
Myers’ incident happened in the third period of the Canuck’s 3-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers when he slashed Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid in the groin area after he was called for a delay of game penalty.
The 6-foot-8 right-shot defenceman was not additionally penalized for the play.
Myers has appeared in both of the Canucks’ games this season, and has two shots and two penalty minutes.
The 35-year-old blueliner recorded six goals and 24 points in 71 games last season while averaging 20:48 of ice time.
Cole’s incident took place in the second period in Utah’s 3-2 overtime win over the Nashville Predators after he tripped Predators forward Steven Stamkos from behind.
The 36-year-old was given a two-minute minor for tripping while Stamkos was also handed a two-minute minor for high-sticking Cole.
Cole has a plus-1 rating in two games with the Mammoth this season, recording a shot.
The 6-foot-1 left-shot defenceman signed a one-year contract with the club in March after registering a goal and 17 points in 82 games last season while averaging 20:17 of ice time.
