Hoglander has been fined US$2,864.58, the maximum allowable under the collective bargaining agreement between the league and the NHL PlayersB次元官网网址� Association.
The Swedish forward was given a match penalty for the infraction and ejected from the game with Connor Garland serving the penalty for his teammate.
