Winnipeg Jets forward Alexander Burmistrov is the latest player to be caught red-handed.
Burmistrov was handed a $2,000 fine for diving/embellishment Thursday, the league announced.
The 24-year-old was issued a warning in an Oct. 27 game against the Los Angeles Kings, and was issued his second citation during an incident in the third period with Arizona Coyotes defenseman Michael Stone on Jan. 26.
The fine makes Burmistrov the latest in a slew of players who have been caught trying to milk referees for a penalty call. Last month saw New Jersey Devils forwards Bobby Farnham and Jordin Tootoo, as well as Burmistrov's teammate, Nikolaj Ehlers, slapped with $2,000 diving fines.
Burmistrov's next offense will earn him a $3,000 fine.
