Tuomo Ruutu's wallet is a little lighter this morning.

The New Jersey Devils forward has been fined $5,000 for slew-footing Pittsburgh's Matt Cullen, the NHL announced.

The incident occurred on March 6, and Ruutu was assessed a minor penalty for tripping at the time.

The $5,000 is the maximum allowed under the current collective bargaining agreement.
