NEW YORK — Ottawa Senators forward Brady Tkachuk was fined US$2,500 by the National Hockey League on Friday for unsportsmanlike conduct.

The incident occurred midway through the first period of Ottawa’s 4-1 home victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday night, the league said in a statement.

Tkachuk was sitting on the bench when he caught Buffalo’s Beck Malenstyn with the butt end of his stick as the Sabres forward crashed into the boards.

The Ottawa captain was given a minor slashing penalty.

The money goes to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.
