We’ll find out very soon whether or not the NHL will impose supplemental discipline on Sam Bennett of the Florida Panthers.
On Monday, Bennett elbowed Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Anthony Stolarz in the head in Game 1 of their second-round series. Stolarz left the game to be evaluated and did not return.
The NHL will look at it from every angle possible, but again, you’re talking about Sam Bennett here. Maple Leafs coach Craig Berube is adamant Bennett knew exactly what he was doing.
“Elbow to the head,” Berube said after Game 1. “Clear as day.”
The incident comes two years and one day after Bennett knocked Matthew Knies of the Maple Leafs out with a concussion when he body slammed him to the ice. Like the Bennett elbow on Stolarz, there was no penalty called on the play.
Today’s post-game video column goes more into what happened, so take a look and let us know what you think.
