Move over, James Neal: Detroit Red Wings forward Gustav Nyquist and Florida Panthers forward Vincent Trocheck are the next two players to receive fines for diving.
The league announced the $2,000 fines Wednesday - three weeks after Neal was the first to be punished under the new anti-embellishment measures.
Nyquist was fined for diving to draw a tripping penalty in a Dec. 29 contest against the Boston Bruins. He previously received a warning on Nov. 28.
