Edmonton Oilers forward Milan Lucic was fined $10,000 for roughing Tampa Bay Lightning forward Mathieu Joseph during Tuesday's game, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced.
Lucic had a hearing for the incident Wednesday and was punished with the maximum allowable fine under the collective bargaining agreement.
Here is the play from Tuesday night:
The Edmonton forward received minor penalties for roughing and interference on the play, as well as a 10-minute misconduct. The Oilers were trailing 5-2 halfway through the third period at the time of the penalties.
He was retaliating to Joseph's hit on Oilers defenseman Kris Russell earlier in the third period, which wasn't penalized.
Lucic is pointless in his last six games with one goal and three assists on the season. The rookie Joseph has a goal and an assist in 15 games.
