from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun,
Peter Schaefer could be in hot water with the NHL for waving the white towel Wednesday in Washington.
While the Senators winger enjoyed yesterday off with the rest of his teammates, officials at the NHL’s office in Toronto no doubt took a second look at Schaefer’s move with furrowed brows .
Though Schaefer won’t be suspended for tomorrow’s visit by the New York Rangers, to Scotiabank Place, he will likely get a slap on the wrist and $1,000 fine. Coach Bryan Murray can expect a phone call from NHL VP Colin Campbell if there hasn’t been one already.
Frustrated with the officiating during the Sens’ 6-2 loss to the Caps, Schaefer placed a towel on the end of his stick and waved it after Dean McAmmond was sent to the penalty box in the third period for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Ottawa Senators forward Peter Schaefer has been fined $2,500 by the league for waving a towel on the bench in Wednesday’s 6-2 loss to the Washington Capitals, in affect surrendering to the officials.
Senators coach Bryan Murray wasn’t pleased with Wednesday’s penalty-filled game which saw each team whistled 11 times.
‘‘I’m not supposed to comment, but (during) the first goal, Ovechkin was offside, and we watched it. His foot was well over the line, and his other foot was in the air,’’ Murray said after the game. ‘‘The third goal, with an icing call, that’s what we were yelling about, and they call it a clean play.’
