Islanders defenseman Logan Stanley fined for slashing Devils captain Nico Hischier, with no suspension.
The fine was $3,586.98 for a second-period slash in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss, according to The Hockey News. It is Stanley's second supplementary discipline from the NHL Department of Player Safety, after a one-game suspension for roughing Brady Tkachuk in January.

New York will be without Ryan Pulock, who is out, and Mathew Barzal and Alexander Romanov, who are on injured reserve. San Jose has four players on injured reserve, all with upper-body injuries.

Ben Hutton made his Islanders debut against the Devils, replacing Scott Mayfield in the lineup.
NY Post Sports reports Mayfield was a healthy scratch, a surprise since he had been the penalty kill ice-time leader in the first three games since Ryan Pulock's upper-body injury. Mayfield and GM Mathieu Darche have both dismissed trade rumors involving him, and the Islanders face a looming roster crunch as they activate players.
