was fined $10,000 by the National Hockey League “for directing an inappropriate remark toward another on-ice participant” in Game 4 of the Ducks’ Western Conference finals series against the Nashville Predators, the league said in a statement released on Saturday.
The league’s statement did not specify what Getzlaf had said. Frank Seravalli of Canada’s TSN reported that Getzlaf had spoken a homophobic slur. A Ducks spokesman said Getzlaf would address the matter Saturday night at Honda Center after Game 5 of the series. The teams are tied at two games each.
