Nashville Predators winger Tanner Jeannot has been fined $2,000 for kneeing Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk on Tuesday night, the NHL's Department of Player Safety announced on Wednesday.
Happening just over a minute into play in the third period, Jeannot appeared to skate into Tkachuk and position his body in a way where the Senators forward would run his knee into Jeannot's.
Jeannot was given a two-minute tripping penalty on the play, which came in the third period of Nashville's 4-1 win.
Tkachuk had the lone Ottawa goal. Jeannot also scored for Nashville.
