2013–14 NHL suspensions and fines

(Redirected from 2013-14 NHL fines and suspensions)

The following is a list of all suspensions and fines enforced in the National Hockey League during the 2013–14 NHL season. It lists which players or coaches of what team have been punished for which offense and the amount of punishment they have received.

Based on each player's average annual salary, divided by number of days in the season (195) for non-repeat offenders and games (82) for repeat offenders, salary will be forfeited for the term of their suspension. Players' money forfeited due to suspension or fine goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund, while money forfeited by coaches, staff or organizations as a whole go to the NHL Foundation.
