NHL Department of Player Safety fines Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman

The NHL's Department of Player Safety announced on Monday morning that they've fined Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman $4,250 for slew-footing Tampa Bay Lightning forward Ross Colton.

The incident occurred with just over three minutes remaining in the first period of Sunday night's game. Hartman and Colton were skating along the boards when Hartman kicked the back of Colton's left leg, causing him to fall hard to the ice.

Hartman received a two minute minor on the play for tripping and when he got out of the penalty box, he had to answer for that incident and fought Lightning defenceman Zach Bogosian.

Hartman, 27, has appeared in 18 games for the Wild this season where he's tallied 13 points (9 G, 4 A), 15 penalty minutes, and is a +10.
