The Dallas Stars went down three games to none to the Vegas Golden Knights in the Western Conference Finals on Tuesday.
A big factor in that third loss was Stars captain Jamie Benn‘s first-period major penalty and ejection for cross-checking Vegas forward Mark Stone in the face while Stone was laying on the ice.

Jamie Benn made a dangerous cross-check on John Carlson very late in his Dallas Stars’ 3-2 victory over the Washington Capitals on Sunday. The Stars captain sent Carlson careening into the boards as the high-scoring defenseman was tracking a puck behind his net as the Caps looked to score a goal with their netminder pulled.
Benn was not directly penalized in the game for the act and Carlson luckily was not injured on the play. Monday, The Washington Post’s Samantha Pell reported that Benn will not receive any supplemental discipline either from the NHL’s Department of Player Safety.

With a little over 20 seconds remaining in regulation of Sunday’s Capitals-Stars game, Jamie Benn made a dangerous cross-check on John Carlson that sent the veteran defensemen crashing into the boards and left him smarting in pain.
When asked about the play postgame, Caps head coach Peter Laviolette did not mince his words.

The Dallas Stars made an incredible run in the bubble. Led by interim head coach Rick Bowness and backup goaltender Anton Khudobin, Dallas improbably came within two games of winning the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1999.
After losing 2-0 in Game Six and watching the Tampa Bay Lightning celebrate on the ice, Stars captain Jamie Benn spoke to reporters on Zoom inside a Rogers’ Place interview room.
Overwhelmed with disappointment and sorrow, Benn struggled to answer questions.
The Dallas Stars became the first team to punch their ticket to the 2020 Stanley Cup Final on Monday after Denis Gurianov scored the series-ending goal in overtime of Game Five.
The one-timer goal came from the right circle on a power play 3:36 into the extra session.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman revealed the league’s 24-playoff plan on Tuesday. Bettman said the 2019-20 regular season is officially over and announced the 24 teams in the “playoffs.”
Jamie Benn is confused, like all of us, though. The Dallas Stars’ captain took to Twitter to ask his followers when he should start growing his playoff beard.
Capitals defenseman Tyler Lewington landed the biggest hit of the game in the second period. And Big Lew delivered it on one of the biggest power forwards in the NHL.
The 6’2″, 200-pound Lewington crushed Stars’ captain Jamie Benn at the blue line. The hit nearly sent Benn completely into the Caps bench and onto Alex Ovechkin’s lap.
Oh, Kuzy. The Capitals’ second-line center is eccentric in a lot of ways, including his bird walk celly, but the latest news tops them all.
Evgeny Kuznetsov’s favorite food is spaghetti, steak, parmesan, ketchup, and mayo–all stirred together.

On Tuesday night the Dallas Stars faced off against the Florida Panthers. The Stars won 3-0, but the highlight of the game wasn’t a goal, it was a blooper-reel-worthy accidental hit by one of the referees.
A linesman was perched on the boards in front of the Panthers bench in an attempt to stay out of the way of the action. But when the Stars’ captain Jamie Benn skated past, the referee stretched his arm out to makes a call and hit Benn square in the face.

Despite the fact that Dallas Stars won their game Thursday night against the Predators 2-0, team CEO Jim Lites decided that Friday morning was the time to go off about their subpar performance this season. Lites voiced his frustrations to various members of the media and railed about the team’s star players, with profligate use of profanity.
“They are f*cking horse-sh*t,” said Lites, as reported by The Athletic’s Sean Shapiro. “I don’t know how else to put it.”
