Despite his best intentions, young Emil Heineman has already violated an NHL rule in his first career game last night in Minnesota.

Therefore, Heineman will apparently have to pay a fine of $2,500, due to a recent regulation requiring all new NHL players to wear a helmet during warm-up.
We love the boldness, in any case! It was beautiful to see:
