The NHL’s Department of Player Safety announced that Calgary Flames forward Blake Coleman has been fined $5,000 for slew-footing Winnipeg’s Pierre-Luc Dubois.

Coleman received a two-minute penalty for tripping late in the first period for the play.

Coleman, 30, has four points and 14 penalty minutes in 14 games this season, putting him on pace for 24 points. That would be his lowest total since 2017-18, when he had 13 goals and 25 points with the New Jersey Devils. Coleman is in the second year of a six-year deal worth $4.9 million per season.

The Flames won Saturday’s game 3-2, ending a seven-game losing streak. They’ll face Pacific Division rivals Los Angeles on Monday before taking two nights off ahead of Thursday’s meeting with Tampa Bay.
