The following is a list of all suspensions and fines enforced in the National Hockey League (NHL) during the 2019–20 NHL season. It lists which players or coaches of what team have been punished for which offense and the amount of punishment they have received.

Based on each player's average annual salary, divided by number of days in the season (186) for non-repeat offenders and games (82) for repeat offenders, salary will be forfeited for the term of their suspension. Players' money forfeited due to suspension or fine goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund, while money forfeited by coaches, staff or organizations as a whole go to the NHL Foundation.[1]

Notes

1.^ All figures are in US dollars.
2.^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Fines generated for games lost due to suspension for off-ice conduct are calculated uniquely and irrespective of repeat offender status.
3.^ Voynov was previously suspended indefinitely on October 20, 2014, for his actions.[30]
4.^ Voynov and the NHLPA appealed the suspension to a neutral arbitrator on April 20, 2019.[31] On May 23, 2019, NHL/NHLPA Neutral Discipline Arbitrator, Shyam Das, upheld NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman's one-season (one-year) suspension, but the neutral arbitrator ruled that Voynov should be credited with having already served 41 games of his suspension during the 2018–19 NHL season. Accordingly, the suspension will remain in effect until 41 games of the 2019–20 NHL season have been served.[3]
5.^ Voynov did not have an active contract at the time of this ruling, and therefore did not forfeit any salary due to games lost.
6.^ Suspension accompanied by mandatory referral to the NHL/NHLPA Program for Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health.
7.^ The precise parameters of Lemieux's suspension were originally delayed due to the suspension of the regular season due to COVID-19.[32]

Fines

Players can be fined up to 50% of one day's salary, up to a maximum of $10,000.00 for their first offense, and $15,000.00 for any subsequent offenses (player had been fined in the 12 months prior to this fine).[1] Coaches, non-playing personnel, and teams are not restricted to such maximums, though can still be treated as repeat offenders.

Fines for players/coaches fined for diving/embellishment are structured uniquely and are only handed out after non-publicized warnings are given to the player/coach for their first offense. For more details on diving/embellishment fines:
