Sennecke Fined for Embellishment, Ducks Coach on Thin Ice

0:00It's March 24th. This is NHL News today, AI-powered stories from inside your team. The NHL hit Anaheim Ducks' right-winger, Beckett Seneca, with a $2,000 fine for embellishment on Tuesday. It's a second violation of the league's diving rule this season after a warning for the first one. Earlier this month, a March 8 against the St. Louis Blues, officials flagged Sinecifor play that went uncalled. Then on March 15th versus the Montreal Canadiens, he drew an embellishment penalty during a scrum where the Canadian's Josh Anderson also got dinged for, holding. The 20-year-old rookie has been lighting it up anyway, leading all NHL first-year players with 21 goals, 33 assists, and 54 points through 70 games. He's third in scoring on the Ducks, showing real promise despite the hiccup. These binds add up for the team, too. Seneca's penalty counts to her coach John Quinn-Aville's tally were four total citations from players or the club, trigger a $2,000 fine for him with bigger ones to follow.
