The incident occurred ahead of a playoff game, leading to further scrutiny of Cousins, who has a history of disciplinary actions. NHL's approach suggests a strong stance against unsportsmanlike behavior in warmups, aiming to maintain order among players just before games. The Senators organization also incurred a $25,000 fine as a consequence of Cousins' actions.
Cousins was fined the maximum allowable under the CBA for shooting a puck at Toronto goalie Anthony Stolarz during warmups, showcasing NHL's intent on maintaining decorum.
