Dallas Stars disagree with Jamie Benn's tripping penalty in OT

Dallas Stars captain Jamie Benn watched from the penalty box as Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk's shot floated into the net at 6:34 of overtime to win Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final.

His teammates believe he shouldn't have been in the box at all.

"That's a hockey play. That's what I saw," Dallas coach Rick Bowness said of a controversial tripping call on Benn in overtime.

The Stars' 5-4 loss on Friday night gave the Lightning a 3-1 lead in the series, with a chance to win the Cup on Saturday night in Game 5.
