Antoine Roussel Earns 18 Penalty Minutes, Fined for Bite
6 years agoVancouver Canucks forward Antoine Roussel was called for a game misconduct and four minor penalties over the course of Friday's loss to the Sharks. Roussel is no stranger to the penalty box and has now recorded at least 17 penalty minutes in two of his last three games. His game misconduct, and $5,000 fine was earned late in the third period after he bit San Jose defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic when the two were locked in a scrum. If your league rewards penalty minutes, then you likely already know Roussel as he is regularly one of the league's most penalized players, but with only eight points in 21 games, he holds little value outside of hits and penalty minutes.
