Sennecke fined $2,000 for embellishment in Ducks game

Citations are issued by the National Hockey League Hockey Operations Department, which tracks all games, logs all penalties for diving or embellishment, and flags all plays not called on the ice that in its opinion were deserving of such a penalty. A Citation is issued once Hockey Operations, through its internal deliberations, is convinced that a player warrants sanction.

Sennecke was issued a Warning following an incident flagged by NHL Hockey Operations during NHL Game No. 1006 vs. St. Louis on March 8. His second Citation, which triggered the $2,000 fine, was issued for an incident at 4:34 of the third period during NHL Game No. 1059 at Montreal on March 15. Sennecke (embellishment) and Montreal forward Josh Anderson (holding) received offsetting minor penalties on the play.

The money goes to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.
