BREAKING: Jamie Benn is Suspended
Jamie Benn has been suspended by the NHL following his actions during Tuesday night's game between the Dallas Stars and the Vegas Golden Knights. The verdict comes after a hearing with the NHL's Department of Player Safety.
Benn Suspended for 2 Games
Jamie Benn has received a two-game suspension for cross-checking Vegas Captain Mark Stone in the head. Benn received a five-minute major and a game misconduct on the play, and will now miss the next two games as a result of his actions.
The Department of Player Safety came out with an official statement just now, announcing the suspension. Dallas will be without their captain for the next _ games, so they better adjust accordingly.
Benn is a Repeat Offender
This isn't the first time Benn has pulled antics like this. Last season, Benn delivered an incredibly dangerous cross-check to the face of Detroit Red Wings Captain Dylan Larkin, seriously injuring him on the play. That incident received no supplemental discipline from the league.
With Dallas down 3-0 in their Western Conference Finals matchup against Vegas, all Benn's actions do is further handicap them. Not a great way to lead by example.
