Anaheim Ducks forward Ryan Getzlaf was fined $10,000 for directing an inappropriate comment toward another on-ice participant in Game 4 against the Nashville Predators, the NHL announced Saturday.

According to Frank Seravalli of TSN, the remark was a homophobic slur.

"(Getzlaf's) comment was inappropriately demeaning and disrespectful, and crossed the line into behavior that we deem unacceptable," NHL senior vice president of hockey operations Colin Campbell said in a statement.
