The NHL fined Winnipeg Jets defenseman Neal Pionk $5,000 on Sunday for clipping Florida defenseman Jesper Boqvist during the Panthers’ 5-0 victory at home Saturday.
The fine is the maximum allowed under the collective bargaining agreement.
Pionk received a 10-minute misconduct penalty on the play in the third period. He appeared to be trying to hip check Boqvist but caught him on the knee instead and sent the Panthers forward to the ice in apparent pain.
The last time Pionk was punished by the league’s Department of Player Safety was April 12, 2023, when he received a $5,000 fine for cross-checking.
