NEW YORK — The NHL has fined Florida Panthers forward Nick Cousins and St. Louis Blues forward Oskar Sundqvist $2,000 each for embellishment. The punishments announced Thursday come after Cousins and Sundqvist were found to have embellished for a second time this season. The first time is a warning. Sundqvist's fine was announced the same day as the Blues signed him to a new two-year contract worth $3 million. The 2019 Stanley Cup-winning Swede will count $1.5 million against the salary cap in the 2024-25 and 2025-26 seasons.
