The NHL fined New York Islanders forward Cal Clutterbuck $2,000 as
supplementary discipline for diving/embellishment.
The league announced Wednesday that Clutterbuck was fined under NHL
Rule 64. Revised for the 2014-15 season, the rule is designed to
penalize players (and teams) who repeatedly dive and embellish in an
attempt to draw penalties.
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.
