Flames' Johnny Gaudreau: Slapped with embellishment fine

Gaudreau was fined $2,000 for embellishment Friday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

Johnny Hockey has broken the embellishment rule twice now, having gotten off with a warning the first time, which reportedly transpired in a Dec. 23 contest against the Canucks with the second offense taking place this past Sunday versus the Islanders. If Gaudreau keeps up the diving antics -- which is hockey's version of flopping -- it'll result in a slightly lighter wallet, but fantasy owners shouldn't worry since it won't cost the star player any games. The stud skater fashioned a four-point effort in Thursday's home game against the Habs, remaining one of the league's best from the left wing.
