Despite the outrage from fans and the repeated nature of these incidents involving Jamie Benn, no discipline is expected to be coming. The NHL has not commented on the situation and likely will not explain the process that went into deciding on no penalty being needed.
As safety continues to be talked about by the NHL these are the types of plays that need to be discussed. The intent of a hit versus outcome needs to be defined as to which is more important when making a call. Jamie Benn's intent was to go for the head. If intent is the rule then it should have been called if the result is all that matters then it is by rule a good hit.
