Mayers flipped a handful of shots from the Blackhawks’ side of the red line through the Red Wings team and at the net. Detroit didn’t seem to take notice of the pucks coming in from the Chicago side of the ice, but the NHL did.
“I was trying to get under their skin,” Mayers told Craig Custance. “The league fined me and took the appropriate action. I’ll pay the piper.”
Mayers has not played in the playoffs. He has been a healthy scratch for every game after playing just 19 games during the regular season.
