Edmonton's Raffi Torres was not suspended for his contact with Calgary's David Moss on Saturday night, but sources say he was fined by the NHL.

The maximum fine allowed under the CBA is $2,500.

If Torres is subject to any future supplementary discipline from the league, he will be considered a repeat offender because of the fine.

Torres landed a blindsided hit to the head of Moss in Saturday's contest, knocking him out of the game with a concussion. He returned briefly in the Flames' 4-1 victory, but was then pulled for precautionary reasons. Torres received a tripping penalty on the play.

''I'm sure it looked like a head shot, but if I was really trying to hurt him, I would have put my elbow up or my shoulder. His jaw hit me. He ran into me,'' Torres told the Edmonton Journal.

 

Montreal's putting a beating on the Bruins right now. 4-0 in the third.

 

Whalercanes take care of Vancouver 3-1. Chippy game ...

 

No score in Cowtown. Regehr just hammered Roenick, who is slightly woozy.

 

Godard scores ... goal to review.

 

Whoops ... no goal.

 

1-0 Sharks ... Thornton gets the puck down low, Roenick gets one bang and Clowe scores.

 

Keenan's doing some mid-game line juggling ... it's 2-0

 

Whalercanes' speed dominated the game.

It was a bullshit call. The puck deflected in off Godard; there was no throwing or kicking motion.

On the bright side, Phaneuf has hit everything in sight.
