The National Hockey League's Department of Player Safety announced on Wednesday that New Jersey Devils defenceman P.K. Subban has been fined $5,000 for a dangerous trip on Calgary Flames forward
Milan Lucic.
The incident occurred just over half-way through the first period. Lucic was in his own zone with the puck when Subban comes from behind him and trips him. Subban appears to kick at the back of Lucic's right leg, causing him to fall.
Subban was assessed a two-minute minor penalty on the play for tripping.

Ryan Reaves.
In five games this season, Subban has yet to record a point, has two penalty minutes, and is a minus-four.
