The NHL fined New York Islanders forward Cal Clutterbuck $2,000 as supplementary discipline for diving/embellishment.

Clutterbuck was issued a warning following an incident during a Dec. 6 game against the St. Louis Blues. His second citation, which triggered the $2,000 fine, was issued for an incident during the game against the Philadelphia Flyers on Jan. 19.
