Last night in the 3rd period of Game 5 in Winnipeg between the Jets and Stars tempers started to boil over.
During a scrum near the Dallas bench the Stars captain Jamie Benn and Jets associate captain Mark Scheifele got into it.
Jamie Benn propelled his fist into Mark Scheifele’s face knocking down 55 and the linesman.
He just got the gate and fans cheer him down then tunnel. pic.twitter.com/UhMD5F82AB

We discussed this post-game on the IC Post-Game Show following the Jets win and didn’t think it would merit anything more than a potential fine and that’s just what happened.
NHL Player Safety put this out this morning:
“Dallas’ Jamie Benn has been fined $5,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for roughing Winnipeg’s Mark Scheifele late in Thursday night’s game.”
Should set up a fun Game 6 in Dallas tomorrow night.
