DALLAS -- Dallas Stars captain Jamie Benn said it was a "heat of the moment" play that led to the match penalty in Game 3, earning him both a first-period ejection and a hearing Wednesday with the NHL Department of Player Safety.
Benn said Wednesday that he needed to be more responsible with his body and stick.
Just 1 minute and 53 seconds into Tuesday night's 4-0 loss to the Golden Knights in Dallas, Benn was given a game misconduct for cross-checking Vegas captain Mark Stone around the jaw while Stone was flat on the ice.
