BREAKING: Stars Forward Suspended Until Next Season?
In a stunning turn of events, less than two minutes into last night's highly-anticipated clash between the Dallas Stars and Vegas Golden Knights, the Stars' esteemed captain, Jamie Benn, found himself ejected from the game.
The ejection was the result of a forceful cross check to Stone's head. The incident, met with immediate repercussions, saw Benn receive a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct.
In a subsequent announcement by the NHL Department of Player Safety today, it became evident that Benn's explanation failed to sway their judgment. Benn stated he had no choice but to use his stick as a �landing mark'. The department issued a stern suspension of two games for Benn's act of cross-checking against Mark Stone.
The Stars' current performance raises concerns about the potential ramifications of Benn's suspension, as it is likely to extend into the following season if the Stars fail to secure a victory in Game 4.
