Malkin — the Penguins’ career leader in penalty minutes (1,214) — is no stranger to supplemental discipline by the league. Less than a year ago, he was fined $5,000 for slashing Boston Bruins defenseman Mason Lohrei on Nov. 30. Throughout his 20-year career, Malkin has been fined four separate occasions (including Sunday) and suspended twice.
The total is the maximum allowable under the collective bargaining agreement between the league and the NHL Players’ Association. All money goes to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.
