The Department of Player Safety decided that Joe Thornton’s hit on Mathieu Perreault Thursday night did not rise to the level of a suspension, issuing the Toronto Maple Leafs forward a $3,017.24 fine for interference instead. That is the maximum allowable amount under the current CBA. Perreault left the game for a time but ended up returning to action for the Winnipeg Jets.
The incident occurred partway through the third period, and Thornton did receive a minor penalty for it. Still, this is now the second time a Toronto player has been fined in the last week for a dangerous play against the Jets, following Zach Hyman’s high stick on Neal Pionk. Between those incidents, Alexander Edler was given a two-game suspension for a hit on Hyman.
