Former Boston Bruins forward Garnet Hathaway, now playing for the Philadelphia Flyers, has incurred a $2,000 fine from the NHL for a play made against his former team in their recent encounter.
The league imposed the penalty as supplementary discipline under NHL Rule 64 (Diving/Embellishment).
Rule 64 aims to deter players and teams from repeatedly engaging in diving and embellishment tactics to draw penalties.
Hathaway's fine underscores the NHL's commitment to maintaining fair and honest competition, sending a clear message against unsportsmanlike conduct on the ice.
