"The Lightning's Dominic Moore was fined $2,500 Friday, the most allowed under the collective bargaining agreement, for an apparent head hit on the Rangers' Ruslan Fedotenko.

The NHL said in a statement only that Moore was fined "for an interference infraction that caused an injury." Moore did not respond to a request for comment.
