The NHL fined Calgary Flames forward Ryan Strome $5,000 on Wednesday for cross-checking Dallas Stars forward Jason Robertson.

The incident occurred 45 seconds into the overtime period in the Stars' 4-3 home victory on Tuesday night. Strome received a double-minor penalty for high-sticking on the play.

Strome, 32, has posted 11 points (five goals, six assists) in 16 games since joining Calgary in a March 6 trade with the Anaheim Ducks. He scored his 500th career point with a goal in Saturday's win at Anaheim.

The money from the fine, which was the maximum allowable under the collective bargaining agreement, goes into the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.
