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.
