Blues' Bortuzzo fined for cross-checking Islanders' Nelson

Robert Bortuzzo's frustration is going to cost him.

The St. Louis Blues defenseman was fined more than $3,000 on Monday night for cross-checking New York Islanders forward Brock Nelson earlier in the day.

Bortuzzo was given a double minor for cross-checking following the incident, which took place in the second period of Monday's game.

The $3,091.40 fine is the maximum financial penalty allowed under the NHL's collective bargaining agreement.
