NEW YORK -- The NHL fined Boston Bruins defenseman Andrew Ference US$2,500 on Friday for making an obscene gesture during a playoff game against the Montreal Canadiens.
Ference was fined for giving Canadiens fans the finger after a goal in the second period during Boston's 5-4 overtime win over Montreal on Thursday night at the Bell Centre.
Ference apologized later and said his finger got stuck in his glove.
No penalty was assessed for the incident.
