Rob Scuderi fined for low hit on Chimera

Kings defenseman Rob Scuderi was fined an undisclosed amount by the NHL on Monday for his low hit on Columbus’ Jason Chimera on Sunday at Staples Center.

Scuderi wasn’t suspended for the hit, which occurred during the first period and wasn’t penalized by the on-ice officials. The NHL reviews debatable plays and can impose a fine or suspension.

Scuderi crouched before hitting Chimera at or below the right knee as Chimera skated up the right side, sending the Blue Jackets’ winger tumbling head over heels. Chimera hit his head on the ice and reopened a cut above his right eye, but returned to the game.
