Marc-Edouard Vlasic has been fined $8,378.38 for slashing Minnesota's Dany Heatley Wednesday night. The San Jose defenseman was assessed a major penalty and game misconduct for slashing at 20:00 of the third period. The league ruled that Heatley was not injured as a direct result of the slash, so he avoided suspension. "It was bad, it got nasty at the end," Vlasic said Thursday. "I never want to injure a guy or see a guy injured even if it was in the tussle at the end. Heater's a great player. It's very unfortunate."
