Benn’s $5K Fine Sparks Debate: Was Scheifele’s Hit Simply Tough or Too Far?
— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) May 16, 2025
The fine is the maximum allowable under the collective bargaining agreement.
Winnipeg was nursing a 3-0 lead with 6:32 remaining in the third period when Benn pulled down Scheifele near the boards.
The players were separated briefly and Scheifele was held by linesman Ryan Daisy when Benn unleashed a short jab to the Jets forward’s jaw. The blow caused both Scheifele and Daisy to fall to the ice.
Benn received a roughing minor and a 10-minute misconduct.
Jets forward Brandon Tanev, who attempted to intervene, was issued a game misconduct and Scheifele received a roughing penalty.
