Stars Jamie Benn fined 5K by NHL for roughing Jets Mark Scheifele in Game 5

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.

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.

I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
