Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin has been fined $5,000 by the NHL on Tuesday for high-sticking Florida Panthers forward Anton Lundell.

The fine is the maximum allowable under the league's collective bargaining agreement.

The incident occurred with 7:02 remaining in the third period of the Panthers' 5-2 victory on Monday in Buffalo. Dahlin was assessed a minor penalty for slashing two seconds later.

Dahlin scored his first goal of the season in the second period on Monday. The 24-year-old Swede also has five assists and eight penalty minutes in 10 games this season.

Dahlin has totaled 298 points (67 goals, 231 assists) in 446 career games since being selected by the Sabres with the top overall pick of the 2018 NHL Draft.
