Jamie Benn's Violent Hit on Mark Stone Results in Ejection and Major Penalty

Shortly into game three of the Western Conference Finals, Stars captain Jaime Benn laid a brutal cross-check on Golden Knights captain Mark Stone.

The referees swiftly responded by ejecting Benn from the game and assessing a 5-minute major penalty, leaving the Stars at a significant disadvantage early on. With Benn's ejection, the Stars were forced to continue the game with only 11 forwards, making their task of overcoming the deficit even more challenging.

Such a violent hit could potentially lead to a suspension for the Stars' captain, jeopardizing his participation in the remainder of the playoffs.
