St. Louis Blues forward Vladimir Sobotka has been fined $5,000 for high-sticking Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Sharp, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced Thursday.
The incident occurred during the third period of Wednesday's contest between the two clubs and saw Sobotka assessed a double-minor.
The Blackhawks would take advantage, scoring twice on the extended power play. However, the Blues skated to a 5-2 win and jumped into first place in the Central Division.
