The incident unfolded when Benn delivered a dangerous cross-check to Vegas' Mark Stone, who was already down on the ice, striking his neck with force.
The act even left Dallas Stars fans in disbelief as the severity of the hit became apparent. With such a flagrant violation of player safety, the NHL player safety committee is expected to review the incident tomorrow.
The repercussions for Benn could be significant, as the league takes these matters seriously. As the game continues, both teams will undoubtedly feel the impact of Benn's absence on the ice, while the hockey world awaits further action from the league.
