* For Head Coach, each FINE issued to a player on his Club counts toward total.

Citations are issued by the National Hockey League Hockey Operations Department, which tracks all games, logs all penalties for diving or embellishment and flags all plays not called on the ice that in its opinion was deserving of such a penalty. A Citation is issued once Hockey Operations, through its internal deliberations, is convinced that a player warrants sanction.

Neal was issued a Warning following an incident flagged by NHL Hockey Operations at 3:59 of the first period during NHL Game No. 237 at St. Louis on Nov. 13. No on-ice penalty was assessed on that play. His second Citation, which triggered the $2,000 fine, was issued following NHL Game No. 447 at San Jose on Dec. 13. In that game, Neal received a minor penalty for embellishment at 19:39 of the third period.
