DALLAS — Dallas Stars captain Jamie Benn was suspended two games by the NHL on Wednesday after an in a Game 3 loss that left Dallas on the brink of being swept out of the Western Conference Final.
“This is simply an unnecessarily dangerous decision by Benn, and it is delivered with sufficient intent and force to merit supplemental discipline,” the league said. . With a win Thursday night, the Knights would advance to the Stanley Cup Final for the second time in the franchise's six seasons. Asked what he could have done differently in that moment, Benn said he obviously didn’t want to take a five-minute major penalty.
“The bottom line is that there’s consequences for actions and he’s paying the consequences for that,” DeBoer said. “From our group’s perspective, I think everybody wants to see Jamie Benn play again. I think we all want to make sure his season doesn’t end on a note like that.” Max Domi, who got a 10-minute misconduct at the end of the second period, was fined $5,000 by the NHL for slashing Stone in the closing minutes of the game; no penalty was called.
