Evgeni Malkin<\/strong> lost his temper during the Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a><\/strong>\u2019 5-2 defeat at the hands of the Winnipeg Jets<\/strong>. In response to a violent action during the matchup, the NHL <\/strong>Department of Player Safety is imposing the maximum monetary penalty on the Russian star.<\/p>\n

Fans in Pittsburgh have grown accustomed to Malkin\u2019s style of play. The 39-year-old veteran plays with passion, but that can sometimes slip out of his control. Against the Jets<\/a>, it definitely did, as Malkin delivered a vicious slash to defenseman Logan Stanley<\/strong>. Now, the NHL is responding with a severe punishment.<\/p>\n

\u201cPittsburgh\u2019s Evgeni Malkin has been fined $5,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA, <\/strong>for slashing Winnipeg\u2019s Logan Stanley,\u201d as announced by @NHLPlayerSafety on X (formerly Twitter).<\/p>\n

No hearing<\/p>\n

According to the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between the NHL<\/a> and the Players\u2019 Association (NHLPA), all fines over the $5,000 figure require a hearing<\/strong> with the Department of Player Safety. <\/p>\n

As Malkin\u2019s fine was just on the limit, he won\u2019t have a hearing with the league, and will face no supplementary discipline. On that note, the Black and Yellow might have gotten away with one in a crucial stage of the NHL season.<\/p>\n

As a result, Malkin will be available for the Penguins\u2019 upcoming matchup with the Toronto Maple Leafs on November 3.<\/strong> The visit to Scotiabank Arena in Hogtown will be the Pens\u2019 last stop on their four-game road trip before returning to The Burgh.<\/p>\n

Keeping up the pace<\/p>\n

After a hot start to the 2025-26 NHL season, the Penguins are seemingly losing a step at the moment. Pittsburgh is in the midst of a six-game stretch against playoff teams<\/strong> from the past campaign. It\u2019s time for the Pens to show their worth, and prove they belong at the top of the standings.<\/p>\n

Up next, the Penguins will take on the Maple Leafs, Capitals, Devils, and Kings before boarding a transatlantic flight to Sweden for the 2025 NHL Global Series against the Nashville Predators (November 14-16).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Evgeni Malkin lost his temper during the Pittsburgh Penguins\u2019 5-2 defeat at the hands of the Winnipeg Jets.…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":350892,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[293,1334,62,67,132,68,292],"class_list":{"0":"post-350891","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-nhl","9":"tag-pittsburgh-penguins","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-united-states","12":"tag-unitedstates","13":"tag-us","14":"tag-winnipeg-jets"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350891","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=350891"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350891\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/350892"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=350891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=350891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=350891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
