The Stars will be without their captain for the next two games. Jamie Benn has been suspended a pair of games, either in the playoffs or next regular season, for a cross-checking violation he committed in Game Three of the Western Conference Final on Tuesday night. Benn was ejected less than two minutes into the game after cross-checking Vegas Golden Knights forward Mark Stone around the jaw area. The NHL said in its ruling that the penalty was "simply an unnecessary decision by Benn" that was "delivered with sufficient intent and force to merit supplemental discipline."
