Vancouver Canucks forward Antoine Roussel has been fined $5,000 for biting San Jose Sharks defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic, the NHL's Department of Player Safety announced on Saturday.

The incident occurred toward the conclusion of Friday's 4-0 Sharks win when Vlasic and Roussel engaged in some minor fisticuffs. After the game, Vlasic said Roussel bit him during the scuffle, according to The Athletic's Kevin Kurz, who added that the defenseman also showed him the mark on his hand.

Roussel received 14 minutes in penalties on the play: two minutes for roughing, two for cross-checking, and a 10-minute misconduct.
