Vancouver’s Antoine Roussel has been fined $5,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for biting San Jose’s Marc-Edouard Vlasic.

Roussel was fined $5,000, which is the max allowed under the CBA. It’s a pretty quick decision because the evidence is pretty damning. If you missed it, Brodie Brazil of NBCSN-CA was kind enough to post a whole video on his Twitter feed.
