The NHL Department of Player Safety announced on Sunday that it has assessed a $5,000 fine to forward Evan Rodrigues of the New Jersey Devils for a high-sticking infraction he committed on Saturday night.

Before a face-off at center ice late in the second period of Saturday’s interconference game, Rodrigues reacted to a gloved shove from Vancouver Canucks center Marco Rossi by raising his stick and striking Rossi in the throat and face area. Rodrigues was assessed a double minor penalty for high-sticking on the play.
