New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) – New York Islanders forward Cal Clutterbuck
was fined $2,000 for diving/embellishment by the NHL on Wednesday.
Under NHL Rule 64, players can be fined for embellishment if they are cited by
the league twice. Clutterbuck’s first citation came on Dec. 6 against the St.
Louis Blues.
The second incident came when Clutterbuck drew a hooking penalty on
Philadelphia Flyers forward Jakub Voracek in a Jan. 19 game.
Clutterbuck was not assessed an on-ice penalty for either incident. Subsequent
embellishment citations will result in larger fines.
