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.
He's closing in on his first game since January 13th.
The 2024 2nd rounder is in Winnipeg where he'll spend the rest of the season…
At the GM meetings GMKC spoke 1-on-1 with Gino Reda.
