Stars coach Rick Bowness fined $25K for post-game incident vs. Blues

Rick Bowness will take over as the new coach of the Winnipeg Jets.

Dallas Stars head coach Rick Bowness has been fined $25,000 for his actions on the bench following the team’s game against the St. Louis Blues on Sunday, the league announced Monday.

Bowness was seen swinging a hockey stick and hitting the back of the bench area after the Blues rallied late with two power-play goals in the final minute of regulation.

That ended a four-game winning streak for the Stars, who are three points adrift of the final wild-card spot.
