This is not the first time Sergachev has been fined during this season. Earlier in December, he was also fined $5,000 for slashing the Toronto Maple Leafs forward Michael Bunting, which makes him a repeat offender under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Accordingly to Garland, Sergachev reached out to him after Thursday’s game to make sure a Canucks forward is OK.

Garland: “It hurt at the time, but I was fine. I’ve played like a rat since I was 16, so I’m used to it.”
