Canucks' Ferland fined $5K, Wild's Kunin $1K by NHL

Ferland received a $5,000 fine for spearing and Kunin was docked $1,000 for
unsportsmanlike conduct, the NHL's Department of Player Safety announced
Monday.

Ferland's fine is the maximum allowable under the league's collective
bargaining agreement.

The 28-year-old Ferland was assessed a minor penalty for slashing at 9:18 of
the third period in Minnesota's 3-0 victory over Vancouver on Sunday in
Edmonton. The sequence began after Ferland's stick was grabbed by a member of
the Wild's bench, prompting the forward to respond with a spear to Minnesota
forward Ryan Hartman.

This is the first time Ferland has received supplemental discipline from the
NHL during his six-year career.

Kunin's fine was a result of him holding the stick of Ferland.
