The NHL Player Safety Department has just announced the fines.
Things got out of control during Game 2 of the Boston Bruins and Carolina Hurricanes series on Wednesday night.
As a result, two Boston players have received the highest fines possible by the NHL Player Safety Department.
Forward Brad Marchand has been fined $5,000 for slashing Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov.
Both players received a minor penalty for slashing on the play, but only Marchand was fined for the incident that occurred at 17:52 of the second period.
As for Bruins defenseman Derek Forbort, he has been fined $5,000 for high-sticking Carolina Hurricanes forward Teuvo Teravainen.
The Forbort incident occurred at 2:53 of the third period, and the blueliner was assessed a double-minor penalty for high-sticking on the play.
The fine money, both the maximum allowable under the NHL's Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.
