Subban fined $2,000 for embellishment

Nashville Predators defenseman P.K. Subban has been fined $2,000 under NHL Rule 64 (diving / embellishment), the league announced Wednesday.

The fine is based on an incident that took place during the third period of Game 4 of Nashville's series against the St. Louis Blues in which Subban (embellishment) and Blues defenseman Joel Edmundson (roughing) received offsetting minor penalties.

Subban was issued a warning back in January, meaning the next occurrence would trigger the fine based on the graduated scale outlined by Rule 64.

The next occurrence of diving or embellishment would result in a $3,000 fine.
