NEW YORK — Ottawa Senators forward Nick Cousins has been fined US$2,083.33 — the maximum allowable under the collective bargaining agreement — for elbowing Buffalo Sabres defenceman Jacob Bryson, the NHL announced Friday.

The incident occurred early in the third period of Buffalo’s 4-0 victory over Ottawa on Thursday.

The money goes to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.

Cousins was assessed a minor penalty for elbowing on the play.

The 31-year-old, who’s in his first season with the Senators, has five goals and seven assists for 12 points in 38 games.

Ottawa has dropped four straight games and owns a 19-18-3 record as the club looks to make the playoffs for the first time since 2017.
