Radim Simek had a more physical presence on the ice in the Sharks' most recent game on Saturday against the Ducks, but it came at a cost.
The NHL Department of Player Safety fined Sharks D Simek a maximum of $5,000 for spearing Ducks F Adam Henrique in Saturday's shootout loss. $5,000 is the largest allowable fine under the NHL's current collective bargaining agreement.
This specific play resulted in a wrestling match between the two players and both of them receiving two minutes each for roughing during the second period.
In eight games this season, Simek has recorded one assist thus far.
The NHL Department of Player Safety has been relatively inconsistent when handling player discipline in general, but luckily Radim Simek isn't a repeat offender and wasn't given a suspension of any kind.
