The controversial moment unfolded as Benn deliberately stood over Mark Stone and delivered a forceful cross-check to his head.
The on-ice officials wasted no time in penalizing Benn with a five-minute major and a game misconduct.
Today, the NHL Department of Player Safety weighed in on the incident and made their verdict known. Unimpressed by Benn's excuse, they levied a two-game suspension on the Dallas star forward for his blatant cross-check against Mark Stone.
The league's decision adds another layer of uncertainty for the Stars, who have been facing their fair share of challenges. If Dallas fails to secure a win in Game 4, it is likely that Benn's suspension will carry over into the next season, further impacting the team's roster and potential performance.
Fans and analysts will closely monitor the Stars' upcoming games, knowing that every moment on the ice carries implications for the team's immediate and long-term future.
