The NHL has just announced that Frederik Andersen has been fined $2,000 for embellishment:
The incident in question, according to the NHL, occurred during the Leafs’ recent tilt against the Vegas Golden Knights on December 31st:

On the play, Andersen appears to come into slight contact with David Perron while he is skating behind the night. While he appears to lose his footing afterward, the response does appear somewhat delayed and exaggerated.
It’s important to note that Andersen had received a prior warning regarding embellishment as well, according to Luke Fox:
All in all, $2,000 is pocket change for an NHL goaltender who is making millions. It would be wise, however, for Andersen to avoid such intentional behaviors in the future, as to not garner any sort of reputation that might skew interference calls against him.
