Jeff Petry fined $5,000 in his first game for the Penguins
Pittsburgh Penguins defenceman Jeff Petry has been fined $5,000 for roughing Detroit Red Wings forward Jonatan Berggren. This is the maximum fine allowed under the CBA. The incident occurred last night in Pisttsburgh's 6-2 loss to Detroit. In that game, former Hawks player Dominik Kubalik scored two goals.
