After a disastrous night for the Dallas Stars on Tuesday, the Western Conference Finals team will be forced to play Thursday’s potential elimination game without their captain, Jamie Benn.
Benn has been suspended by the league for cross-checking Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone in an apparent fit of rage on Tuesday.
In a move that OutKick’s Matt Reigle called one of the most egregious penalties committed by a captain, Benn took a hockey stick to Stone’s face in the first period. Benn was promptly booted for the offense.

Phillies shortstop Trea Turner has endured a rough start to his first season in Philadelphia, to say the least.
Turner was honest with himself regarding his slump just this week, admitting that he’s “sucked” so far this season. Through 48 games, the shortstop has a .687 OPS, which is his lowest since his MLB debut in 2015.
Phillies fans began booing the two-time All-Star during his plate appearances, and that apparently includes one of the people closest to Turner: his mom.
Lamar Jackson finally signed his long-term contract this offseason. He’s the Baltimore Ravens quarterback for at least the next five years. It makes sense that the team is going to try to protect their investment.
Jackson said on Wednesday that in new offensive coordinator Todd Monken’s offense, the plan is for him to run less and throw more. Sounds great. Except Lamar Jackson is an elite runner.
He is not an elite passer.
That’s just a fact. People get angry when it’s said, but that doesn’t make it any less true.
ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith is one of the most renowned sports media members on the planet. The 55-year-old hosts his own podcast, Know Mercy, produces his own TV program, NBA in Stephen A’s World and is the face of the popular debate show First Take.
While his efforts have seen him become one of the most recognizable figures in sports, Smith admitted he’s chasing a loftier goal than merely becoming the top sports media talent.
A college baseball player in central Pennsylvania has died after a dugout at a youth baseball field collapsed on him.
According to TMZ, Angel Mercado-Ocasio, a freshman infielder for the Central Penn College Knights, died in the incident.
City of Harrisburg spokesman Matt Maisel said the 19-year-old was disassembling a dugout that had been illegally built at the field. However, while he was attempting to do this, part of the structure collapsed on top of him.
Mercado-Ocasio was rushed to the hospital following the incident.
Zac Gallen has emerged as an ace for the Diamondbacks, but a return to his hometown was a reminder that he still has plenty of room to improve.
The veteran finished the regular season with underwhelming numbers, but has become a leading playoff MVP candidate — while leading the Panthers to within a game of the Stanley Cup Final.
Focusing on what players do right instead of their mistakes seems to be paying dividends for Florida’s Paul Maurice.
The Wizards split with Tommy Sheppard last month after he spent two decades in their front office.
You’d think playing for a storied franchise like the Chicago Bears would be great, though as former Bear and current Lions running back David Montgomery has noted, it sure as hell helps if you’re winning.
During Montgomery’s time in the Windy City, the Bears were not.
The former Iowa State Cyclone played in Chicago from 2019 to 2022. Over that stretch, the Bears posted a 25-41-0 record. That is less than stellar.
He signed with the Lions this offseason and will be part of the new-look Detroit offense.
