New York, NY (Sports Network) - The National Hockey League fined Ottawa
Senators forward Zenon Konopka $2,500 and the Senators franchise $10,000 on
Monday.
The franchise was docked due to Konopka's actions prior to Saturday's 3-2
Ottawa overtime victory against the New York Rangers in Game 2 of that Eastern
Conference quarterfinal.
The 31-year-old Canadian directed verbal abuse towards a Rangers player who
was conducting a live televised interview during the warm-ups. His fine was
the maximum allowable under the current Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Game 3 in the best-of-seven set will take place in Canada's capital later
Monday.
