The NHL's Department of Player Safety announced on Sunday afternoon that Minnesota Wild defenceman Alex Goligoski has been fined $5,000 for high-sticking Seattle Kraken forward Jordan Eberle.

The incident occurred at the 13:42 mark of the first period of Saturday's tilt between Minnesota and Seattle. Goligoski didn't receive a penalty on the play, and he added an assist in the first period as the Wild defeated the Kraken, 4-2.
