Seth Jarvis will have to pay up.
The Carolina Hurricanes forward has been fined $5,000, the maximum fine allowed under the CBA, for his high-stick against Columbus Blue Jackets' Conor Garland on Tuesday, the NHL department of player safety announced on Wednesday.
Garland required medical attention after he was hit and his face was bleeding. He briefly left the game but later returned to the bench. Jarvis received a double minor for the infraction.
The third-period high-sticking call was the second against Jarvis in the game after he was also given a four-minute penalty for raising his stick against Zach Werenski in the first period.
The Blue Jackets won that game 5-1 and Jarvis served almost as many penalty minutes as the entire Columbus team, which had nine.
