Both players were previously issued warnings for separate incidents, and were fined following the second infraction.

Smith-Pelly - while playing for the Montreal Canadiens - was given the fine after embellishing a slashing penalty on Feb. 24 against the Washington Capitals.

Blandisi drew a minor penalty on Feb. 23 versus the New York Rangers, and was also assessed a penalty for embellishment on the play.
