Josh Anderson and Tom Wilson fined by the NHL

Last night’s game at the Bell Centre was a wild affair. It got especially heated at the end of the second period, when Josh Anderson and Tom Wilson got into a fight… on the bench.

It was quite a scene.

Obviously, both guys got a 10-minute penalty… and we wondered if additional sanctions would be added to all that.

We weren’t necessarily expecting suspensions, but we were wondering if fines would be added. And they did.

Both guys were fined $5,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct in an impromptu UFC fight.

Montreal’s Josh Anderson has been fined $5,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for unsportsmanlike conduct during last night’s game against Washington.
