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.

The Vegas Golden Knights announced on Monday that they activated star forward Mark Stone from long-term injured reserve. Stone will play in Vegas’ Game One matchup against the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday after not playing for over three months.
Stone injured his back on January 12, had a setback during the rehab process, and opted for surgery in early February. It was the second time in less than a year that Stone needed surgery on his back.
At the time of his departure from the lineup, Stone was second on the team in scoring with 38 points. His $9.5 million cap hit being moved to LTIR allowed Vegas to add multiple pieces at the trade deadline.
