    The NHL has fined Nashville Predators forward James Neal $2,000 for violating the league's revised rule against diving and embellishing.

    The new rule, implemented for this season after approval by the NHL Board of Governors and the NHL Players' Association, is designed to bring attention to and more seriously penalize players and teams who repeatedly dive and embellish in an attempt to draw penalties.

    Fines are assessed to players and head coaches on a graduated scale.
