Moore fined $2,500; Fedotenko out Saturday

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Dominic Moore's hit on the New York Rangers' Ruslan Fedotenko on Thursday night cost him $2,500 and kept Fedotenko out of Saturday's game.

Using his shoulder, Moore smashed into Fedotenko's chin in the third period, sending Fedotenko to the ice.

The Rangers forward remained there for a few moments, face down. He eventually required assistance in getting off the ice.

Moore was given a minor penalty for roughing at the time of the hit.

The fine, which is the maximum allowed by the Collective Bargaining Agreement, will go to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.

Fedotenko did not travel with the Rangers for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers.
