The NHL fined Anaheim Ducks center Ryan Strome the maximum $5,000 on Monday for unsportsmanlike conduct at the end of Sunday’s game against the Colorado Avalanche.
Strome was punished for his actions at the 4:15 mark of overtime in a 5-4 loss to the Avs. That time coincides with Nathan MacKinnon’s game-winning goal that handed Anaheim its 11th straight loss.
Strome, 29, had an assist in the game but won just 2 of 6 faceoffs against Colorado. He has 40 points (15 goals, 25 assists) and a career-high 75 penalty minutes in 80 games this season.
Strome was selected No. 5 overall in the 2011 draft by the New York Islanders.
