The NHL has fined Calgary Flames head coach Bob Hartley $50,000 for his role in the brawl that occurred late in Game 2 against the Vancouver Canucks Friday.
The fine was issued in accordance with By-Law 17.3 (a) for “conduct prejudicial to or against the welfare of the league,” according to an NHL press release.

Hartley didn’t seem overly concerned about all the penalties handed out at the end of Game 2.
This isn’t the first time Hartley has been fined by the league. He was dinged $25,000 for a similar incident during the 2013-14 campaign.
The league also rescinded Deryk Engelland’s game misconduct he received for instigating a fight in the final five minutes of regulation.
None of the rough stuff had an impact on the score, as the Canucks won 4-1 to even the series at one game apiece.
