NEW YORK – The NHL has fined Montreal Canadiens forward Jonathan Drouin US$5,000 for cross-checking Stars forward Tyler Seguin during a game Tuesday night in Dallas.

The amount of the fine is the highest allowable under the collective bargaining agreement between the NHL and the NHL Players’ Association.
