The Dallas Stars will be without their captain for their elimination game on Thursday -- and the contest after that if they somehow win -- 'cause the NHL just announced Jamie Benn's been suspended two games for his violent play on a Golden Knights player Tuesday night.
The incident -- which happened just 1:53 into the first period of the Stars' Western Conference Finals game against Las Vegas -- looked dirty as hell ... you can see in a replay, Benn appeared to take his stick and purposely ram it Mark Stone's jaw after the two had gotten tangled up on the ice.
