As for Colton Sissons, he's been fined $2,500 for spearing Ottawa Senators forward Josh Norris.

Sissons and Norris were tied up in the faceoff circle, then the Senators forward gives Sissons a bit of a shove. He didn't like that and turned towards Norris and speared him in the groin. Norris went right after Sissons, leading to a scrum after the whistle. No penalty was called on the play.
